Cruz lies about not having insurance because of Obamacare, turns out he does have insurance then blames his insurance broker.

Ted Cruz has health insurance, and he had it all along, his campaign said Friday night, reversing what the presidential candidate said a day earlier.
Mr. Cruz told a Manchester, N.H., audience on Thursday that he was currently uninsured — which he said infuriated his wife –after Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas canceled many individual policies, including his. As a result, Mr. Cruz said he was now looking to buy a new plan at sharply higher premiums, a turn of events he attributed to the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare. Mr. Cruz has been a harsh critic of the health law.
Poor guy, I can't imagine the pain I'd go through if my insurance broker misled me into thinking I had no insurance. Plus having my wife be mad and I'd be trying to find my new insurance -- wait, isn't that the insurance broker's job? -- so I guess now I need a new insurance broker as well, but the good news is that I don't actually need new insurance.
