Cruz urges GOP to use debt ceiling fight for Obamacare changes
WASHINGTON Legislation raising the debt ceiling is among the best leverage that Congress has to rein in the White House and should include changes to the nation's new health insurance system, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
Cruz said that in addition to dismantling Obamacare, Republicans should also look for a "significant" plan to reduce new spending and avoid new taxes. He pointed out that past debt ceiling authorizations included changes to the banking system and mandatory budget cuts.
