ABC News(WASHINGTON) — In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, presidential candidate Ted Cruz said he will sign up for healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act – a law he has vigorously fought against since joining the Senate.
“We’ll be getting new health insurance and we’ll presumably do it through my job with the Senate, and so we’ll be on the federal exchange with millions of others on the federal exchange,” Cruz told CNN.
Cruz and his family currently receive health insurance coverage through his wife’s job at Goldman Sachs. Cruz’s wife, Heidi, is a managing director at the company and will take a leave of absence to campaign for her husband, causing her to lose her healthcare coverage.
Cruz is most known for that filibuster he led on the Senate floor in protest against Obamacare, a tactic that ultimately led to the government shutdown.
