GRUBER'S HATE-A THON BEGAN WITH HILLARYCARE

SOURCE Health Reforms May Hurt Uninsured - Study analyzes hospitals in California
THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE - Saturday, January 30, 1993
Author: Jonathan Marshall, Chronicle Staff Writer

CIRCA 1993---Health care reforms under consideration by the Bill Clinton administration could backfire against uninsured patients, a new study of California hospitals suggests. A move in California in the 1980s to control the upward spiral of medical costs by encouraging price competition produced discounts of nearly 5 percent for paying patients, according to an analysis released by the National Bureau of Economic Research, an academic clearinghouse in Cambridge, Mass.

Price competition is a key element in ``managed competition’’ and ``managed care’’ scenarios being reviewed by a White House task force led by (a very ambitious First Lady) Hillary Clinton.

At the same time, however, the move to competition also slashed the amount of uncompensated care 36 percent from its expected value.

``The bottom line I want to push is that if you lower the price of care, it may . . . not be unambiguously good if it means kicking out the uninsured,’’ said Jonathan Gruber, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist who authored the study. (snip) (no link)

Four U.S. states and the federal government (read taxpayers) have padded Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber's wallet to the tune of $5.9 million since 2000, including millions connected to his work on the Affordable Care Act.

We need investigations---to see how our tax dollars changed hands---and landed into Gruber's pockets. The disdainful, preening Gruber was paid tax dollars to spin his web of lies...and to reiterate his contempt for taxpayers who are footing the bills.

Even more disturbing is the massive, multi-billion-dollar slush fund the self-serving Gruber hid from "stupid" Americans in Obamacare. Gruber made dam sure it was kept hidden from us stupid taxpayers.

=========================================

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote. But not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

THE PAYOFF--WHO GETS THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion

<><> Where is all that money going?

<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?

==================================================

Taxpayers demand to know ---- why Gruber/Obama/Pelosi didnt reveal that Obamacare contains a multi-billion dollar slush fund?

Exactly who is cashing in?

The sound of wire-transfers to offshore banks is almost palbable.

=========================================================

Maybe Gruber can write a new comic book entitled:

HOW TO BE A MILLIONAIRE BY HIDING A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR SLUSH FUND IN FEDERAL LEGISLATION

My review of this group, The Alliance for Health Reform, is that it came out of the Rockefeller funding mechanism and foisted upon our government (behind the scenes) for the sole purpose to use so-called “healthcare reform” as a vehicle to overhaul the tax code.

It is all about the money and power, folks!

Has anyone else noticed that Gruber is PERSONALLY REPELLENT? That yammering, nasal, testosterone-free voice, expecially.

Yes, Gruber is now on my “baseball bat” list.

It’s a mental list or particularly disgusting individuals, where I hypothesize on how they might pass from this Earth, based on their treatment of their fellow man, and how reasonable men might respond to such treatment.

Herr Gruber is now exposed, and his exposure has consequences. In this case, not just for him, but also for people in lofty positions of power who now view him as a potent liability and threat to their power premise.

Mr. Gruber, justice will be upon you, one way, or the other.

I found it by ‘looking for other stuff’ Friday and did a quick search on google but no mention of it.
