A leading Marxist health academic played a key role in designing health policies in Massachusetts and at the Federal level, now popularly associated with both leading US presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

I wonder how Mittens feels about being lied to and made the fool
by Oberst-Gruppenführer der Waffen-SS Jonnie Gruber ?How does he feel about being played as a sucker for stealing money
from forty-nine states to make Romney-care appear solvent ?I'll bet he was rolled by T. Kennedy, the Highanusport whale.
What an inane twit !
Obama specifically ordered Jonathan Gruber---and other “healthcare experts” in on the hoax---to find ways to game the CBO numbers so that they could pass the bill without Americans being the wiser.
After all, they had the preening Gruber who knew the "dirty little secret" of Romneycare---that Massachusetts ripped off the federal govt (read taxpayers) to finance it.
===================================================== /
Gruber loved to pat himself on the back----b/c, he, a lowly MIT professor, was now in the company of the Big Boys---visitng the WH a dozen times--rubbing shoulders w/ Mass Gov Mitt Romney and then-Sen Teddy Kennedy (the liberal lion of US politics).
Anytime he found himself before an audience, the self-satisfied Gruber lapsed into his gleeful, endless showboating over passing Obamacare....and how it was accomplished over the concern of "stupid" Americans.
THE SMOKING GUN---On July 20, 2009, Jonathan Gruber met with the POTUS in the West Wing. He was there almost four hours.
Jonathan Gruber has clearly identified President Obama as the source of the lie behind the "Cadillac Tax." Jonathan Gruber fingered the president of the US in the deliberate lie Obama used to pass the healthcare atrocity.
".....In the Vermont 2011 video shot by TrueNorthReports.com and sent to Watchdog.org on Thursday, Jonathan Gruber appears before the Vermont House Health Care Committee to present recommendations for a universal, publicly financed health care program. The recommendations were part of the 2011 “Hsiao Report” submitted to the Legislature by economist William C. Hsiao and co- written by Jonathan Gruber.
As Gruber sits there, listening (mentally preparing himself for the kill), the committee chair reads a comment from a Vermonter who expresses concern that the plan crafted by Gruber---an MIT economist---might lead to “ballooning costs, increased taxes and bureaucratic outrages,” among other things.
After hearing the Vermonter’s worries, the disdainful Gruber responds in his now-familiar derogatory manner: “Was this written by my adolescent children by any chance?”
The remark was met with uproarious laughter.
================================================
Contrary to Gruber’s snarky insult, the comment was not written by an adolescent. “It was actually written by a former senior policy adviser in the White House who knew something about health care systems,” said John McClaughry, a two-term Vermont state senator and adviser to President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.

AFTERMATH In frantic damage control, many "tolerant and compassionate" liberals have reflexively indulged their despotic inclinations (reminiscent of Josef Stalin's purges) and are trying to “disappear” Jonathan Gruber.
But the damaging Gruber videos keep popping up. The preening self-serving Gruber loved nothing better than to show-off his intellectual superiority, gesticulating wildly, as a camera clicked away.
The University of Pennsylvania has now pulled the original video of Gruber’s remarks (in which he disses Americans as stupid), from its website.
No doubt if it were possible, Democratic staffers, Politburo-style, would be scrubbing Gruber from photographs.
Within hours of Nancy Pelosi’s asserting she certainly didn't know who the cretin Gruber was ---bloggers had unearthed her earlier comments.
In the throes of "writing the bill" Nancy is caught on video, uttering Gruber's name, recommending him as a dependable “healthcare expert” for Obamacare.
