Reporter’s Gruber question prompts Obamacare flack’s eyeroll
Boston Herald ^ | November 17, 2014 | By: Chris Cassidy

A Massachusetts Health Connector spokeswoman rolled her eyes when asked if the Patrick administration stands by embattled board member Jonathan Gruber, insisting state officials aren’t paying attention to the national firestorm.

“Some of your colleagues saw me roll my eyes,” spokeswoman Kim Haberlin told a Herald reporter who asked about Gruber during a press event.

Haberlin said there are no plans for Gruber to leave the board.

“No, not at this time,” she said. “We’re focused on the next person getting into coverage.”

Obamacare czar Maydad Cohen, Health Connector Executive Director Jean Yang and Secretary of Health and Human Services John Polanowicz were also at the media event today, but only Haberlin addressed the Gruber questions.

Meanwhile, three Vermont Republican lawmakers today urged Gov. Peter Shumlin’s administration to cut ties with Gruber -- who has a $450,000 health contract with that state — calling his comments “arrogant and disrespectful.”

All participants in developing or administering nobamacare are “in-on” the fraud. ALL ARE CRIMINALS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. They roll their eyes to let you know that they think you are an idiot.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

They think they have put another one over on the dumb "breeders".

...Haberlin said there are no plans for Gruber to leave the board...even after Goober spilled the beans on the Massachusetts system, admitting that Senator Ted Kennedy had "ripped off the feds" to get an additional 400 million for the system, without which it wouldn't have worked - these people have no shame......

We should thank Gruber for destroying Romney’s chances at the nomination for 2016.
