Academic Built Case for Mandate in Health Care Law (NYT 2012 article cites Gruber as influence)

Mr. Gruber has spent decades modeling the intricacies of the health care ecosystem, which involves making predictions about how new laws will play out based on past experience and economic theory. It is his research that convinced the Obama administration that health care reform could not work without requiring everyone to buy insurance.

And it is his work that explains why President Obama has so much riding on the three days of United States Supreme Court hearings, which ended Wednesday, about the constitutionality of the mandate. Questioning by the court’s conservative justices has suggested deep skepticism about the mandate, setting off waves of worry among its backers — Mr. Gruber included.

Pelosi's not the only one who might want to forget Gruber. Googling 'Gruber Romney healthcare' brings up all kinds of stuff that got lost in the welter of Obama disasters coming at us over the past several years. For instance, from Forbes, 10/11/2011, How Mitt Romney's Health-Care Experts Helped Design Obamacare
Gruber, for his part, has said all along that Romneycare and Obamacare are “basically…the same thing.” Gruber told the Boston Globe in March 2010 that Obamacare would never have passed had Romney not made “the decision in 2005 to go for it. He is in many ways the intellectual father of national health reform.”

Gruber is the new poster boy for the most detested man in America.

“I was speaking off the cuff, and I was basically speaking inappropriately, and I regret having made those comments.”: Jonathan Gruber
Nancy Pelosi dismissed Gruber’s role in Obamacare on Thursday (11/13/14), telling the press, “I don’t know who he is. He didn’t help write our bill.”
Many outlets were quick to point out that Pelosi cited Gruber in a “Health Insurance Reform Mythbuster” on her official website in 2009.

Pelosi cited ObamaCare architect in push for law – now claims she hasn’t heard of him (Breiitbart 11/13/14)

Jonathan Gruber misspoke at least four times, on video recordings,
whereby he mocked the voters (in this case ,the entire Democrat Congress) for being stupid.
There is NO EXCUSE for NAZI Pelousey denial, other than it is inconvienient !!
LIARS ALL !!!
