Senator Cruz, you do not speak for me, or many other Texans like me [View all]

I am that single parent you love to talk about...the one who is somehow being "harmed" by "Obamacare."

The "harm" that is being done to me is that I can purchase a policy for $176 a month.
The "harm" is that I don't have to order prescription meds from other countries.
The "harm" is that I can drop my son's $500/quarter temporary high risk policy in favor of a new policy that actually offers coverage and preventative care.

No, Mr. Cruz, get my name out of your mouth...

Thank you.
