Jonathan Gruber Had Larger Role in ObamaCare Than Previously Known

 Once the Jonathan Gruber videos were discovered about the deception and the outright lies used to pass Obamacare, the Democrat party and the Obama administration tried to distance themselves from the trash-talking MIT economist. TheHill published the following:

The ObamaCare consultant who once mocked the “stupidity of the American voter” had a bigger impact on the healthcare law than previously known, The Wall Street Journal is reporting.

Jonathan Gruber frequently contacted Obama administration officials via email while crafting ObamaCare, according to the newspaper. 

The Journal said that previously unreleased messages show that Gruber repeatedly messaged the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) between January, 2009 and March, 2010. 

He offered advice on healthcare policy and informed officials about media and lawmaker interviews concerning ObamaCare, it added. 

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told the newspaper that the communications disprove Gruber’s past assertions that he was a limited participant in creating the healthcare law. 

The House Oversight Committee chairman added that his committee had obtained 20,000 pages emails after working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where Gruber is an economist. 

“His proximity to HHS and the White House was a whole lot tighter than they admitted,” Chaffetz said of Gruber’s relationship with the Obama administration, according to the Journal.
“There’s no doubt he was a much more integral part of this than they’ve said,” he added.
Chaffetz also said on Sunday he has sent HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell a letter for additional information over Gruber’s contract with her agency. 

Outrage erupted last year when video footage emerged of Gruber insulting the American electorate over ObamaCare.  

He was filmed in 2013 reportedly praising “the stupidity of the American voter” for helping pass President Obama’s sweeping healthcare reform law.

Jonathan Gruber always took credit for Obamacare, before he had to distance himself from it...




The King versus Burwell decision should be a no-brainer for the SCOTUS, since the state exchanges were required to be set up to get subsidies.  Jonathan Gruber always said so......



The  'cadillac tax' was another of the LIES told by this administration in order to pass Obamacare. 



Then again, Obama and the Democrats always lied about Obamacare not being a tax


Hey Democrats feel stupid yet or do you just like being lied to ?
