Defund Obamacare Act of 2013

Defund Obamacare Act of 2013

On Thursday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced legislation in the Senate that would completely defund the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. He wasn’t alone in proposing the legislation either. The bill has 19 co-sponsors, all Republicans, including RINOs.
Amazingly simple, the Defund Obamacare Act of 2013 is only 2 pages.
