Minnesota was one of the states where Jonathan Gruber, an economist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who was involved in the creation of the federal Affordable Care Act, helped to set up a local health insurance exchange.

Gruber has come under fire for comments he made a year ago about how the federal law was passed. Video that surfaced this month showed him saying that a "lack of transparency" and "the stupidity of the American voter" were key to getting the federal law passed.

He was paid $330,000 for his work in Minnesota. What did he produce?

Gruber, who helped craft the national plan as well as the Massachusetts plan that inspired it, was under contract in Minnesota for about two years, from 2011 to 2013.

He was hired for $230,000 for the first year. He produced a 61-page report, in collaboration with Gorman Actuarial of Massachusetts, in April 2012 titled "The Impact of the ACA and Exchange on Minnesota."

Minnesota paid for his lies.

They should sue the phoney, and MIT if MIT’s name
is on any of the documents.

I’m surprised the pioneer press is even talking about him.
