Jonathan Gruber counting on “stupidity of the American voter” again.

Affordable Care Act, fail, Healthcare Reform, Jonathan Gruber, Obamacare, Progressive Revisionist History


Oh buddy.  Jonathan “the stupidity of the American voter” Gruber tried to blame President Trump on the failings of Obamacare during an exchange  this weekend on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.

Wallace, of course, called Gruber out at which point Gruber tried to back up his statement by claiming that the President refused to honor Obamacare’s obligations to healthcare insurers.

In Gruber’s twisted mind that is the reason for healthcare insurers dropping out of the exchange.

Gruber didn’t count on, however, Karl Rove’s whiteboard (not that it or Rove was needed.)

Another case of Progressive revisionist history. All LIES.

Hospitals, doctors and healthcare insurers began dropping out of Obamacare as far back as 2013, four years before Donald Trump was elected.

Obamacare architect and MIT professor, Jonathan “if it weren’t for the stupidity of the American voter” Gruber, has agreed to testify December 9 before the Committee on House Oversight and Government Reform. Also scheduled to testify is Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.

The topic of the meeting is Obamacare Deception/Fraud, and since

Tavenner is scheduled to testify; one can only hope that last Friday evening’s document dump, which consisted of HHS proposed new regulations for 2017, and former CMS employee, Michelle Snyder’s temper tantrum and bullying are on the docket as well. (See: Riddle: “If you like your Obamacare plan…?”)

ObamaCare Architect Gruber, CMS Administrator Tavenner Called to Testify about Health Law Deceptions

Admin. Admits Inflating ObamaCare Numbers by 400K After Committee Discovers Deception

WASHINGTON – Last night, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., sent letters calling on Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner and ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber to testify on Tuesday, December 9th before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on repeated transparency failures and outright deceptions surrounding ObamaCare.

“From the outset, the health law has been the poster child for this Administration’s broken transparency promises,” Chairman Issa said in a statement. “Americans were told if they liked their plans and doctors, they could keep them. They were told the individual mandate wasn’t a tax. None of these were true. Jonathan Gruber, one of ObamaCare’s chief architects, publicly lauded the ‘lack of transparency’ that was necessary to pass the law and credited ‘the stupidity of the American voter’ that allowed the Administration to mislead the public. CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner testified before our Committee that the Administration met its goals by enrolling 7.3 million individuals, however we now know that wasn’t the case. The numbers provided by CMS were deceptive and obscured the number of Americans running from exchange plans. The American people deserve honesty, transparency and respect from those who forced the federal government into their healthcare. I expect Mr. Gruber and Administrator Tavenner to testify publicly next month about the arrogance and deceptions surrounding the passage and implementation of ObamaCare.”

Yesterday, the Oversight Committee explained how the Administration exaggerated ObamaCare’s September enrollment figures, obscuring the fact that more than one million individuals dropped out since May 2014. Adding dental plans allowed the Administration to tout an enrollment total inflated by 400,000 and created the false impression that it had surpassed its goal of 7 million. Only after the Committee’s finding became public did CMS Administrator Tavenner confirm the discrepancy calling it a “mistake.”

FBN’s Melissa Francis: I was silenced by CNBC for challenging Obamacare math (video)

Fox Business News

Nov. 14, 2014 – 7:32 – FBN’s Melissa Francis says she was silenced by CNBC when challenging the Obamacare math.

I said on the air that you couldn’t add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their preexisting conditions without raising the price on everyone else. I pointed out that it couldn’t possible be true that if you liked your plan, you can keep it. That was a lie, and in fact, millions of people had their insurance cancelled. As a result of what I said at CNBC, I was called into management where I was told that I was “disrespecting the office of the President” by telling what turned out to be the absolute truth….

This, Fox Business, is the only network – and Fox News not complicit in the campaign to keep you in the dark. Don’t trust the other guys. I can tell you firsthand, they are willing participants in the campaign to keep the economic truth from you. Don’t let them do it….

Even though we were already aware that the mainstream media is complicit in the Obama deception, it is refreshing when one who is part of the mainstream media exposes their lack of ethics and credibility. H/t Patrick Dollard.

CBS: Democrats “Embarrassed” by Gruber’s Obamacare Comments

While CBS has finally reported on this, they should have owned up to the mainstream media’s role in the deception being that they are all of the same mindset.

In any event, CBS still has a lot of catching up to do. They’re about three or four videos behind. H/t The Right Scoop.

Obamacare Architect Caught Bragging about Deceiving Americans to Pass Law

BeFunky_null_3 Jonathan Gruber Obamacare Artchitech Admits Deceiving Americans to pass bill edited

A videotape of Obamacare architect, Jonathan Gruber has gone viral boasting about the huge political advantage of lying to the American people in order to get the legislation passed.

The admission was made during the 2013 the Annual Health Economists’ Conference at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

Published to Youtube on Nov 7, 2014 by AmericanCommitment

Forbes, Avik Roy

In fairness to Gruber, American voters are not the only people whose intelligence he questions; elsewhere in the discussion, he describes New York Sen. Chuck Schumer (D.) as someone who “as far as I can tell, doesn’t understand economics” and calls a staffer for Sen. Olympia Snowe (R., Maine)—presumably William Pewen—an “idiot.”

Representatives of the Leonard Davis Institute tried to pull the video of Gruber’s remarks, but they were too late. Phil Kerpen and others had already clipped them for public consumption….

In other words, these evil Communist scum bucket elitists knew from the beginning that Americans would rebuke this legislation so they lied to us to get it passed.

This is why no one read the bill. No one cared to read it. They just wanted it passed and the American people be damned.

As many have said repeatedly, Obamacare was never about healthcare for the uninsured, it is about power and a money grab.

Those of us who saw through the lies and tried to get the word out were ridiculed, lambasted, accused of being racists, extremists and silenced.

Even though we are now vindicated, thanks to the truth, the spin continues.

Snopes, the internet propaganda arm of Progressive elites, immediately went into spin control in their post entitled, Obfuscatedcare, “When the quote began to circulate in November 2014, many people mistakenly believed the comments to be recent (they were not), and others said PennLDI removed the clip due to the political controversy.”

Snopes linked to an article at RARE that made no mention of the date of the conference nor did the article once infer that Gruber’s admission occurred recently.
