Ted Cruz's book, "A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America," critiques the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, arguing that it has significantly harmed the American workforce. He contends that the legislation has led to millions losing their health insurance and has severely impacted job creation, contributing to high unemployment rates among Americans.

Cruz paints Obamacare as the most detrimental factor in a series of policies he attributes to Barack Obama, suggesting these policies have created a challenging job market. According to Cruz, the negative effects of Obamacare extend beyond healthcare, as it places a heavy burden on employers, which ultimately results in job losses for workers.
