Gruber Returns ObamaCare
architect Jonathan Gruber is back in the news, just in time for the
imminent Supreme Court ruling. It looks like, once again, the Obama
administration lied to the American people.
Does the name Jonathan Gruber sound familiar? Many months ago, he became a household name for all the wrong reasons. Gruber,
an MIT professor, had been cited as the "architect of ObamaCare" by
Democrats and members of the Obama administration. That was until
controversial comments made by Gruber surfaced; then, Democrats
pretended not to know him or at least place him at a very long arms
length.
Footage surfaced of Gruber explaining how ObamaCare was written in a "tortured" way so that the CBO would score it as a tax.
He also infamously claimed that
the ObamaCare law was written in a complicated way that relied upon the
"stupidity of the American voter" to not fully understand it.
Gruber
essentially outed what many of us already knew: ObamaCare wasn't what
it sold as, it was deliberately manipulated and complicated and the
administration did this because it assumed the American people were too
dumb to figure it out. By the time they did, it would be too late.
After all, remember what Nancy Pelosi said, "We have to pass the bill
so you can find out what's in it."
Gruber is back in the news
again. This is because 20,000 pages of emails sent by Gruber to the
White House and the Obama administration have been released by the House
Oversight Committee. |

Gruber Was Really Close to White House... Really Close According to the Wall Street Journal
, "The emails show frequent
consultations between Mr. Gruber and top Obama administration staffers
and advisers in the White House and the Department of Health and Human
Services on the Affordable Care Act. They show he informed HHS about
interviews with reporters and discussions with lawmakers, and he
consulted with HHS about how to publicly describe his role."
Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Jason Chaffetz says
, "[Gruber's] proximity to HHS
and the White House was a whole lot tighter than they admitted. There's
no doubt he was a much more integral part of this than they've said. He
put up this facade he was an arm's length away. It was a farce."
To
give you an idea of how closely the administration worked with Gruber, a
top Obama administration health adviser who worked in the
administration and the White House called Gruber "our hero" in an email exchange
and thanks him for being "an integral part of getting us to this historic moment."
Even MSNBC had to admit that the White House wasn't exactly "forthcoming" on this one. That's to say the least. |
