“Seniors do a terrible job choosing,” Gruber said.
Gruber’s slide then claimed that 12 percent of seniors allegedly picked the lowest-cost Medicare Part D plan and could on average save up to 30 percent more, without noting that some seniors pick prescription drug plans that work for them that are not necessarily the cheapest possible plan.

“Gruber: Old people are stupid. “
It’s Obama through Gruber.
What a pyle. I hope when he gets to that age....well cannot say it here. Oh gruber did it occur to you maybe the cheaper plan doesn’t cover all the med needed?
Oh wait...no old people are stupid and need to die right gruber?
Gruber is stupid.
You will screw yourself mightily if you just pick the lowest cost plan and do not carefully check the formulary for the meds you actually take...You could pay big bucks for tier 4 meds, for example.
AND you have to check year after year.
Boy this guy is the gift that keeps on giving. I love these intellectual types that think their so smart they don’t have the common sense to see they’re sticking both feet in their mouths. Keep talking azzhat.
He is exempt from obamadeathcare isn’t he? I bet his parents get anything they need for healthcare.
Freedom of Choice, is what you’ve got.
Freedom from Choice, is what you want.

I just got SS and need to choose a part D plan. I realize there is a lot more to it but I am not on any meds and am healthy now.
Any advice to help me choose?
So the Nanny State should step into the equation - NOT.
I actually agree with him on this.
Due to decades of social-engineering and top-down central planning by Government, we make choices for retirement, income, taxes, investments, health-care, housing - EXTREMELY convoluted and complicated.
Email Jgruber@mit.edu He has all the answers.
yeah - and they don’t choose ‘maternity” etc - insurance.
How dumb.
With OCare, they get and pay for it - like it or not
Old people don’t really need all the prescription medications the pharmaceutical industry pushes.Our grandparents did pretty well without being old junkies.Endless adverts on TV promoting pills for every perceived problem are for the enrichment of companies.I looked at the various plans available here and the deductible plus monthly premium add up to at least $750 annually best case.
When and why did Americans accept the idea that being older means taking a bunch of pills every day ?
Maybe under Obama, old people need to be DEAD unless they are union government retirees or employees.
The way Democrats are lately I don’t doubt it could be truly the way they think and Palin did call the death panels.
Next Gruber utterance with assistance from Zeke Emmanuel, “75 year old people are ignorant when it comes to choosing their death plan. That is why we have a panel to choose for them.”
Now hold on a minute - with 50 different options who wouldn’t be confused? Systems should be designed for people, not people for systems. If Gruber can’t come up with a decision tree that illustrates his process, he doesn’t understand it either. Show us, bud.
There has been talk of less or little care or access to anything after 70, just like Europe.
The question is why.
Why did he say this?
Answer: Complete control for the “good” of government and for the profit
of goverment. Money and power.
