“One day after Ted Cruz told college students in New Hampshire that he had no health insurance because President Barack Obama’s health care law caused the cancellation of his coverage, the Republican presidential candidate’s campaign walked back that assertion late Friday.

Contrary to what Cruz, a top contender for the GOP nomination, said on Thursday—”I don’t have health care right now”—it turns out the U.S. senator from Texas and his family appear to be insured after all.

A campaign spokeswoman said Cruz’s insurance policy was indeed cancelled but that he didn’t realize his provider, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, had automatically transitioned him and his family onto a new policy.”
