Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the man who led the charge on the 16-day government shutdown by tying government funding provisions to defunding the Affordable Care Act, told ABC News he "would do anything" to stop Obamacare -- including another government shutdown.

Speaking about defunding the Affordable Care Act on the "Sean Hannity Show" on Wednesday, Cruz said, "This is going to be multi-staged, extended political battle."The Huffington Post
