Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON, D.C. – “Last night, news reports surfaced that the House of Representatives might vote to ‘defund Obamacare’ in a way that easily allows Senate Democrats to keep funding Obamacare. If House Republicans go along with this strategy, they will be complicit in the disaster that is Obamacare,” said Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today as part of the effort to fight to defund Obamacare.

“House Republicans should pass a continuing resolution that funds government in its entirely — except Obamacare — and that explicitly prohibits spending any federal money, mandatory or discretionary, on Obamacare.
“They should not use any procedural chicanery to enable Harry Reid to circumvent that vote,” Cruz said.
“If you oppose Obamacare, don’t fund Obamacare. Our elected leaders should listen to the American people.”
