Ted Cruz’s Strategy to Blow Up Obamacare

Senator Ted Cruz proposes to bypass Senate rules to allow a more expansive repeal of Obamacare. This involves setting aside the Senate parliamentarian's rulings to avoid the 60-vote threshold, using reconciliation. However, this move highlights divisions within the Republican Party, making it harder to pass legislation. Cruz's proposal has some support from the House Freedom Caucus but lacks clear backing in the Senate. His strategy aims to push policy to the right, challenging Senate traditions.
