This womans name is Judy, he continued, and Judy is a housekeeper at a motel that I often go to and weve become friends. Judy has worked a whole life in manual labor. Shes been everything you can imagine, a cook, a waitress, housekeeper, all of these things. Shes 62 years old. Judy told me that she has never had health insurance one day in her life, ever. Shed worked every single day she could, but she never had health insurance.
It turns out that Judy was diabetic, said the Illinois Senator, and she found some hospitals and doctors locally to give her some care.

But I will say this, said Cruz. You tell the story of Judy. The best way for Judy or anyone to have health insurance is to have an economy that is booming, where people can get jobs and have opportunities.
Durbin scoffed, saying, I think your answer to Judy is You need a better job. After working a lifetime, 62 years of hard work, the best that she can do. Shes never had health insurance and I think your answer was, Judy, get a better job.
