Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Says Obamacare is a Disaster, Barack Obama Should Apologize to the American People For Causing 5 Million to Lose Their Insurance and Then Fix the Problem

This weekend on CBS’s ‘Face the Nation,’ Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)  urged President Barack Obama to use Tuesday’s State of the Union address to apologize to the American people and the 5 million Americans who lost their insurance as a result of Obamacare. Cruz said that the president  should look in the camera and say, “I’m sorry, I told you if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it.  I told you if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, and that wasn’t true — I’m sorry.” Cruz then said that mere words are not enough, Obama should then fix the problem that he caused.

SEN. TED CRUZ (transcript):

But, you know, in terms of whether we should’ve stood and fought on Obamacare, I think the proof is in the pudding.  Millions of people across the country have seen now why we were standing and fighting, because Obamacare’s a disaster.

And, you know, for the State of the Union, one of the things President Obama really oughta do is look in the TV camera and say to the over five million Americans all across this country who’ve had their health insurance canceled because of Obamacare, to look in the camera and say, “I’m sorry.  I told you if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it.

“I told you if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.  And that wasn’t true.  I’m sorry.”  But then, Bob, here’s the real kicker.  If you’re really sorry, you don’t just say you’re sorry.  You actually do something to fix the problem.  The pattern we’ve seen over and over again with this president is he says–

SEN. TED CRUZ: –he’s sorry and he expresses outrage but then he doesn’t fix the problem.  He keeps doing it over and over again.
