My daughter's response to Ted Cruz by Claire McCaskill

Friend -- We've heard a lot about Green Eggs and Ham this week. It's one of the Dr. Seuss books I read to my kids when they were little, about how sometimes when you try new things, you like them. And on Tuesday night, Ted Cruz read it to his kids from the Senate floor (which I thought was nice), in between talking about how he wants to shut down the government if Obamacare isn't defunded (less nice). My daughter (she's not so little anymore) texted me about it -- "doesn't he realize that Green Eggs and Ham is about how you can't knock things until you try them?" Turns out she was paying attention at story time. I think the problem is that Senator Cruz is knocking the law before his constituents have gotten to try it. As the law is implemented in the weeks and months to come, they might just end up liking it. In the meantime, join Team Obamacare and help protect health reform. We're already seeing so many benefits from health care reform -- young people being able to stay on their parents' health plans, no lifetime coverage caps, and free preventative care. And in just a few days, the insurance exchanges will go live and more and more people will get covered, showing again Obamacare isn't the big bad government plan some Republicans have made it out to me. We need to work together to protect and strengthen the law. Join the team that's fighting for Obamacare today: http://my.democrats.org/Team-Obamacare All the best, Claire Senator Claire McCaskill Missouri
