How lucrative has ObamaCare been to jonathan gruber?
Incredibly, it turns out that he has billed almost $6 million – in no small part for what, in his own words, is an economic model specifically designed to fool the public because they are too stupid to understand how great the real system is.
Excerpted from David Martosko\’s article at London\’s Daily Mail:
FourU.S. states and the federal government have padded Obamacarearchitect Jonathan Gruber\’s wallet to the tune of $5.9 million since2000, including millions connected to his work on the Affordable CareAct.
TheMassachusetts Institute of Technology economist has been pilloriedfor collecting $392,600 from the Obama administration\’s Health andHuman Services Department while the law was being written, but thatwas just the tip of the iceberg.
Gruber\’sconsulting contracts give states and the feds access to a proprietaryformula that can determine how changes in a health care system\’sstructure will affect costs.
The\’Gruber Microsimulation Model\’ is what he sold to the White House. Ithelped Obama\’s team anticipate what the influential CongressionalBudget Office (CBO) would say about various features of the finalplan – and whether their costs would officially be considered\’taxes.\’
Six million dollars (and, if you use the link and read the entire article you\’ll find there\’s another $1.5 million more involved) to a pompous, arrogant elitist partisan so he could make voters think ObamaCare is something it is not…as he disdainfully calls us “stupid”.
I don\’t own the words to describe my contempt for this “man”.
Now: why did I use a London newspaper\’s article to tell you about this?
Because Barack Obama\’s Accomplice Media are still, for the most part, not even reporting that it happened. Just as they are not reporting that Nancy Pelosi – no one important, just the Democrat Minority Leader and former Speaker Of The House – lied to our faces when claiming she didn\’t know who gruber was and he had nothing to do with ObamaCare.
What does this tell you? It tells you – again, as it did on Fast and Furious, the IRS, and more – that, if we\’re talking about a Democrat scandal, they become pathetic toadies, happy to forgo journalism and act as paid propagandists.
Lucky for gruber that he wasn\’t a Republican who might be tied to lanes being opened or closed on the George Washington Bridge. These same “journalists” would have spent months reporting it as front page news, and doing everything in their power to take him down forever.
