WASHINGTON _ Ted Cruz is still on a crusade to wipe out the Affordable Care Act, but the effort is getting lonelier and lonelier.
Republican leaders are now publicly rooting against a Texas-led lawsuit that could eradicate the law in its entirety. Cruz laid the groundwork last year for the lawsuit's approach.
The GOP also largely ignored Cruz's pleas to make major changes to the law using only Republican votes in these final days when the party controls all of Congress. Democrats will run the House as of Jan. 3.
