Ted Cruz is going on Obamacare.

The newly announced Republican presidential candidate told CNN's Dana Bash that he will sign up for health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act -- a law he has been on a crusade to kill.

The news comes one day after CNN first reported that the senator would no longer have access to health benefits through his wife's employer, Goldman Sachs

don't know , maybe its a requirement by law , I don't know the details . I'll look for some info before I send my money , thanks for the heads up LL !!

"Well, it is written in the law that members will be on the exchanges without subsidies just like millions of Americans so that's – I think the same rules should apply to all of us. Members of Congress should not be exempt"

He also repeated his call for the healthcare law to be repealed in its entirety.

"I believe in 2017 a new president, a Republican president will sign legislation repealing every word of it. There are a fair number of Republicans in Washington and elsewhere who have quietly and privately given up on that fight and I have not,"

Fancy that an elected official following the Law.

However if I were him I would have refused to follow this "Law", and refused to pay the Tax/Fine or whatever Roberts calls it today.

Oh my God, my Lockstepper status is in jeopardy, I disagreed with a fellow Conservative !

The MSM and the lefties,oops that's redundant would have a field day calling Ted a lawbreaker and a tax cheat.

He should extend them a middle finger.

yeah SangsterSteve , I'd have been inclined to just not signup but you are correct about TEDS status and breaking the law and the publicity !! Course , many would applaud the publicity and the act of him not signing up !!

If he just lost the insurance his wife had, I don't think he will pay a fine.
Of course, I don't know.

He will be assessed a tax/fine if he does not have Health Insurance I understand it, the tax/fine can only be collected by the IRS if you have a Tax Refund Due.

So let me get this straight, y'all are giving Cruz crap for following a Law he opposes ?

And what would you say if he made certain he had no refund due and refuse to pay the tax ?

I worrying more about his wife working for Goldman-Sachs, myself.

Maybe he did it so that he will have legal standing ?

He chooses to obey the law even though he opposes it?

Is that the beef here?

Something he never, ever mentions. And it if somebody brings it up he changes the subject.

Oh please! He's never hidden the fact of where she works. Except she is now on leave of absence.

Part of the reason is to show he's doing what other Americans have to and Obama isn't. Hillary isn't either.

Could someone explain why working for Goldman Sachs is a bad thing?

yeah , as if anyone cares or that its anyones business that the wife works for Gloldman Sachs . He11 , if a person were to tell me that they worked at Goldman Sacks I'd ask if it was a good job .

In short Goldman Sachs is evil, and too many people in the FEDGOD have close ties to GS and the Taxpayers money.

They're just an investment bank. You should have one, too.
