I think Gruber is all for show like Big Brother put on a show over “Goldstein” in “1984”.....
The GOPe is putting on emotional political theater instead of taking any meaningful action to reverse Obamacare.
The big money special interests that support the GOPe wanted Obamacare to fill their coffers with money from those higher health insurance premiums for those whose coverage was cancelled and the uninsured being forced to buy the new more expensive coverage as well.
“The GOPe is putting on emotional political theater instead of taking any meaningful action to reverse Obamacare.”
You are correct. If the GOPe really cared about eliminating Obamacare it would happen. Every GOP pundit and advisor would be talking about it. There would be a people’s march on Washington scheduled after the first of the year. Protest would be organized at the offices of potential Democrat defectors. Boehner and McConnell would be strong arming or passing pork out to potential Democrat defectors on a veto vote. They have the numbers to pass repeal and the have the power to pull enough Democrats, afraid of voters in 2016, to override a veto.
As you said, the big monied interests that fund the party want Obamacare.
