Texas Republicans continue to to fight against Obamacare, 98 days before big Oct. 1 launch

[TexasTowelie]

Obamacare recently launched its own website to advertise that the “Health Insurance Marketplace” is coming soon, but many Texas Republicans hope to defund the program.

According to the website, a new way to get affordable coverage launches on October 1. With 98 days left until open enrollment, Texas Republicans continue to fight against the program.

Rep. Bill Flores and Rep. Pete Olson expressed their concern on Twitter:

The more we learn about #Obamacare, the worse it gets. That’s why I’m fighting to scrap it asap. http://t.co/OrmhmZWk1P

Coverage won’t begin until January 1, but many Republicans fear the economic impact that Obamacare will have on the United States. Sen. Ted Cruz believes that small businesses will be more likely to hire illegal immigrants to save money under Obamacare:

#Go8 & Obamacare subsidize hiring illegal immigrants over citizens. In response, I proposed amdt to defund Obamacare & level playing field.
