Jonathan Gruber, Romneycare, and Obamacare

Obama used the Massachusetts law developed by Gruber as the blueprint for Obamacare

When asked in 2012 what were the differences between Romney’s and Obama’s plans he said "They are the same bleeping bill! More seriously, the core of the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is exactly the same as what we did here in Massachusetts"

Romneycare was held up as a success. It became the exemplar model. But in fact it is a failure.

Gruber himself says the "dirty secret" is that a large portion of the cost of Romneycare was paid by the Feds. Here is Gruber and the "dirty secret": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtnEmPXEpr0#t=720

The federal government subsidized Massachusetts, who is going to subsidize the federal government?

A 2011 study by the Beacon Hill Institute titled "Massachusetts Health Care Reform stunts job growth and investment" found:

• HCR has driven total health insurance costs up by $4.3 billion.
• The state economy created 18,313 fewer jobs in 2010 than it would have had HCR not been in place.
• Estimate that investment in Massachusetts was from $21.28 million and $29.32 million lower in 2010 as a result of HCR.
• The job losses have crimped income and wage growth in Massachusetts. Real (price‐adjusted) disposable income is, on average, $2.48 billion or $376 dollars per person lower in 2010 than it would have been without HCR.

Increased costs, fewer jobs, lower wages.

Romenycare and Obamacare, both from the mastermind central planner Gruber, are both frauds and failures from top to bottom.

RomneyCARE increased costs for people,
and had doctors leave the system.

RomneyCARE is a redistribution because BAIN and Romney
threw people onto the state when they removed
their health plans.

RomneyCARE was made by a bastard carpetbagger
and was imposed by the same bastard backstabber
of conservatives.

RomneyCARE is socialized medicine imposed
by the same Bishop that imposed gay marriage/polygamy.

GOP-carpetbagger and undercover-backstabber Romney:
"Always remember that I was first to impose Death Panels."
