We remember when President Obama was defending the ObamaCare bill. He promised the American people that as a result of ObamaCare, the averagefamily's health insurance premium would drop $2,500. He said: That is going to happen by the end of my first term. I would point out that the President's first term ended 9 months ago, and by the end of the President's first term, that promise was proven not just a little off the mark, not just kind of sort of a little bit not entirely accurate; it was proven 100 percent, categorically, objectively false.

Ted Cruz reflects on President Obama's promise regarding the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare. Obama assured Americans that their health insurance premiums would decrease by $2,500 by the end of his first term. However, as Cruz points out, this pledge was not merely an exaggeration; it was entirely unfulfilled by the end of Obama's first term, demonstrating a significant departure from the truth.
Cruz emphasizes the importance of accountability in political promises. The assertion that premiums would drop was a key selling point for ObamaCare, yet the reality proved starkly different, leaving many families facing higher costs instead. This serves as a critique of not only the healthcare policy but also the broader implications of trustworthiness in government commitments.
