The White House is publicly distancing itself from MIT professor Jonathan Gruber's comments on the legislative process behind Obamacare and its "lack of transparency," which have been seized on by conservatives this week, saying that they are "simply not true."
Gruber also invoked "the stupidity of the American voter" in 2013 comments unearthed last week about the Affordable Care Act. He has since said that he regretted the comments and spoke "inappropriately."
“Transparency is a key goal of the ACA: consumers now have more access to information about their health insurance than ever before," White House spokesperson Jessica Santillo said in a statement to TPM. "The Affordable Care Act was publicly debated over the course of 14 months, with dozens of Congressional hearings, and countless town halls, speeches, and debates.
"The tax credits in the law that help millions of middle class Americans afford coverage were no secret, and in fact were central to the legislation," she continued. "Not only do we disagree with those comments, they're simply not true.”
An administration official also noted to TPM that -- while Gruber is often described as an "architect" of Obamacare because he was a key consultant to the administration and was heavily involved in developing the Massachusetts health reform law that served as a starting point for the ACA -- "he did not work in the White House or play the same role in developing the Affordable Care Act."

Does Gruber have health insurance to cover his bus injuries?
What kind of health insurance does he have?
how much does he pay a month?
Is he covered by ObamaCare?

We already knew that Gruber testified before Congress, shilling for Obama, without thinking he needed to mention he'd received almost $400,000 from Obama (via the HHS), and was speaking with his de facto paymaster, Peter Orszag, all through this process. While Orszag was pimping his "independent analyses" to the sleepy-headed media.
That we knew.
What we didn't know is that Congress asked HHS to disclose all of its consultants. And the HHS refused to do so.
how can she say publicly debated when none other than Pelosi said you have to pass it to find out whats in it?
In an ideal world, Obama would be impeached, removed, and packed in his pajamas on the next flight to Caracas!
Admittedly, that would be unconstitutional. The Constitution limits the sanction to removal from office and disqualification from holding federal office. So, I suppose it would have to be Chicago, not Caracas.
Ferguson? Bring it!
So that ends it, those 19 logged visits by Herr Gruber to the White House was nothing more than taking advantage of the Taco Tuesday Special the W.H. Chefs were offering up.
White House: Gruber’s Comments About O-Care Are ‘Simply Not True’>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The comments are true, The US public has been stupidized by the lack of a fully engaged MSM who are treasonously giving Obama a pass.
Gruber and his fellow liberal fascists can say anything they want. The Liberal fascists do not care, have no shame, the end having justiified the means. Soon the Obama liberal fascists will turn guns on the People as the People awaken to the truth. Then it will be martial law under the Insurrection Act and a postpned 2016 election with war in the Middle East, the Ukraine and the Western Pacific.
Thats just how much of a ba$tard Obama is.

They left out “he never said that.”
The tooth paste is out of the tube!

WOW! Let's see, $400,000 to a man who the White House spokesperson said did not work at the White House and who the spokesman said had little to do with ObamaCare.
I'm wondering how much money he would have received if he had worked on ObamaCare full time: $1,000,000 or more?
Nice work if you can get it. Easy Money.
I got that... why is that an important message for you?
I got that... why is that an important message for you?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Its really simple. The RINO faction iof the GOP is even more elitist that Gruber and the social engineering fascists of the Obama movement.Romoney is among then, and the rank and file GOP still listen and follow the leadership of such GOP elitist non cp0nservative prograssives asKarl Rove, Jeb Bush, and Mitt Romney????
The real GOP conservative that wins elections angainst liberla fascists of the left are the Tea Party and its adherents. We do not need Gruber Romney RINOs. We need the Allen Wests, and Ted Cruzes of our nation.Stuff the RINOs. The RINOs cannot win against the Obama movement, they are from the same foundation of dysfunctional elitism.
Thanks ansel12 for pointing out the Gruber-Romney connection.
Obama’s trying the equivalent of
“whudn’ me.’
Damage control 101..... Deny, deny, deny.
You tell me since you are the one that reacted negatively to the information when I posted it to someone else, why are you pestering me about it, why does it bother you, why did the simple mention turn out to be so important to you?
