I'm doing everything in my power to fight Obamacare and its disastrous impact on Texas. It has become an unconstitutional tax, and The Obama administration is threatening the Medicaid programs of the states if they refuse to pay. This amounts to over 120 million annually in Texas. Under other circumstances, this is known as extortion, and I have no intention of allowing it to happen. In closing, my message is simple. Don't believe the attacks on me. (03:31–03:40)
