They’re going to stuff this into liberal courts and it won’t matter.

I believe this is the same story and it’s free.
If it’s the issue of subsidies, it’s not a typo. The author stated it was intentionally designed that way.
It’s a lie. They are trying to deny what the law says, about exchanges I think.
The propaganda continues.
I found it elsewhere. Clarence is just starting the spin cycle, that all this is over a typo, when we know from other sources that it was the intent all along to use subsidies to entice states to set up their own exchanges. Now the left wants to undo their own handiwork through rule making rather than legislation. Nothing more complicated than that.
It is not a typo, misspelling a word is a typo. They intentionally drafted the law as it was written. States did not fall into line as was expected. That was their error.
Much to my delight.
The typo is a talking point. Bobocare was created with an incentive for the states to create their own healthcare exchanges. To get the tax subsidies, a citizen would have to use a state exchange. It was discussed at the time and the reason they did this was the federal government cannot force the states to set up exchanges.
Few states set up their own exchanges, and the DC court of appeals just ruled that the law must be implemented as written. Now the Democrats are now saying the part they set up to coerce the states was a typo.
Page got the Rat talking points memo.
These people learn their talking points and scurry off to write their columns like the little goblin scribe in The Hobbit.
Not
A
Typo.
Rather it’s a failed political calculation.
Since when does something happen in Washington by accident?
Letting the states run the exchanges was a major part of the compromise. It wasn’t just a typo.

Either Clarence Page is dumber than a box of hammers, or he is a bald faced liar. Neither option speaks very well of him. Maybe he’s the Affirmative Action House Liar for the Chicago Tribune.
clarence's brain teeters on the edge of insanity, typo my ass.
2700 pages of bureaucratic bullshit {that no one read} followed by 21,000 pages of regulations, that no one has still read, and this ain't no stinken typo.
What we have here, is a failure to communicate.
Good Bye, Luke...
Clarence Page is an Obama hack. It wasn’t a typo—it was planned to be that way so that, so the thinking went, Republican governors would be “FORCED” to create exchanges.
So says one of the architects of the death panel law.
Sorry, Clarence, your ignorance won’t sell here.
Is Clarence Page still sucking up oxygen? I though he had passed a while ago.
What BS! That was no typo. They put it in that deliberately, to (i) keep the cost estimates down, (ii) encourage state-run exchanges.
The fact that the same architect says, over and over, on tape, at the time that the law was passed and since, that Congress intended to limit the subsidies to states that established their own exchanges, and prohibit subsidies in states that relied on the federal government to establish the exchanges, is of no account.
Today’s story is that Congress intended all along to provide subsidies in all states, whether the states established the exchange or not.
So your memories of all of that talk about how holding the provision of subsidies over the states’ heads in order to force them to establish exchanges is just your overactive imagination. And all of that committee testimony in the Congressional Record and people saying the exact same thing into microphones is the same.

This is pure propaganda to pressure the supremes and their clerks to change the plain text of the Obamacare law and its original political intent. The implied threat is the violence that will result when the po’folk don’t get their government freebies. Unfortunately Judge Roberts will again be the deciding vote.
1. Grubers: We have all met Grubers in our lives.
2. They believe that they are the smartest persons in the room.
3 No mistakes: But the main thing about them is this: They believe that they don't make mistakes like us ordinary humans, or they believe that they rarely make mistakes.
3. My point is this: Gruber did not make a mistake when he talked about how only State exchanges could apply for Obamacare subsidies, because he said it at least twice. He knew exactly what he was saying. He knew exactly what the law said, because he wrote it. No typo error or excuse for Gruber. No "I was heavily medicated when i wrote it."
We also know that the law went through several revisions and proofreadings before it was finally accepted. So there is strong proof that what we see in the law is exactly what Gruber and Obama wanted in the law. Sorry, Gruber, but you messed up bigtime. So be it.
4. Since he wrote the law, I bet that he is one of the few persons who has actually read every word over and over. He probably even memorized the whole damn thing.
5. I can hear know-it-all Gruber defending himself:"Who are you going to believe, me or you own lying eyes?"
6. I say this to Gruber and his partner in crime Obama: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
