I do think Republicans get screwed by the media generally on this kind of stuff. I'm sure Cruz is not a conservative though. Conservatives like a stable environment for business and families. Obamacare seeks compromises with conservatives to promote those things. We don't want a system that ruins individuals with health issues, that is the situation we're coming from. To make conservatives happy, insurance companies were included in the system instead of being destroyed for the greater good. When Tea Partiers shut down government programs they send ripples through the economy in all kinds of unforeseen ways. My non-profit does special education services for a lot less money than the public school alternative, but we're going down the drain because of last years sequester. Cruz is no conservative. His radical policies destroy businesses, jobs, and individuals. Don't hide behind the single-payer fig leaf, Cruz would never support that and you know it.
