Gruber is the socialist Michael Mann of Health Care.
"................As Republicans try to dismantle the Affordable Care Act from their new position of power in Congress, Gruber will become an oft-cited Oracle of Obamacare. But he confirms a broader critique conservatives have of the president, which is that he either cynically thinks people can be fooled or he thinks people aren’t smart enough to know what’s good for them. That means we’re likely to hear Gruber’s name in debates over issues like immigration, in which he has played no role at all." -- Six Degrees of Jonathan Gruber - Why the Republicans’ anger over the MIT professor’s statements about Obamacare is politically justified - Slate, Nov. 14, 2014
