Chief Obamacare Architect Sacked After Fraudulent Billing Investigation
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/20/2017 | Eric Owens

Posted on 08/20/2017 7:29:03 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Vermont’s Attorney General has settled the state’s claims of fraud against Jonathan Gruber, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who served as a technical consultant for President Barack Obama and as one of the chief architects of Obamacare.

Under the terms of the settlement, Gruber will no longer work as a taxpayer-funded economic consultant for the state’s health care system and he won’t seek to be paid any money he might be owed, reports the Rutland Herald, a Vermont newspaper.

For its part under the agreement, the Vermont’s attorney general will not pursue legal action under the Vermont Civil False Claims Act.

Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan announced the settlement on Friday after state investigators wrapped up an inquiry into Gruber’s billing practices.

Officials in Vermont had hired Gruber as an economic consultant to assess, examine and provide economic models for a now-abandoned plan to roll out a single-payer health care system across the tiny state.

So the only penalty is that Gruber won’t work for Vermont anymore and won’t seek any further compensation. Such a deal. Does anyone ever go to jail if they are Democrats?

This man’s integrity has been non-existant from the git-go, so I’d be surprised if he will honor the terms.

“Under the terms of the settlement, Gruber will no longer work as a taxpayer-funded economic consultant for the state’s health care system and he WON’T SEEK to be paid any money he might be owed, reports the Rutland Herald, a Vermont newspaper. “

Which means he’s still going to get paid.

If blacks listened to a coherent argument against everything they believe to be true for TEN minutes, their lives would greatly change for the better.

Not all blacks, of course.

And only 78 percent of black men voted for Hillary, which I consider a miracle. 96 percent of black women did.

I would have thought the women would have been smarter. Go figure.

Of course they do. Why do you think Democrats want felons to vote?

The World According to Gruber:

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” he said during one health care conference.

At another event, Gruber admitted that the Obama administration pushed through the so-called Cadillac tax — a tax on certain premium health care plans — “by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people, when we know it’s a tax on people who hold these insurance plans.”

The state that sent Bernie Sanders, running as a Socialist/Independent, to the Congress as its ONLY representative for years, and now as a Senator ... and we’re supposed to care about those citizens? They seem rather to enjoy being defrauded.

ObamaCare is nothing more than a big scam to enrich the politically correct and connected cronies.

The article does not mention how much money Gruber had been paid to date.

Wonder why?
