Former MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, described by many as the chief architect of Obamacare who famously explained how the health-care law was adopted because of the “stupidity” of American voters, has been “fired for fraud.” It was the Wall Street Journal that earlier reported there were 20,000 pages of emails sent by Gruber between January 2009 and March 2010 regarding his consultation for the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services.
He later was found to have said, “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voters or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

Another Obama/Clinton criminal thug faces reality without Comey to help him!
Of course his firing will never be reported by the MSM.
Is he the one who laughed and bragged about perpetrating the Obamacare fraud on the American people?
Where is the evidence to support the dismissal for fraud? What is in the “excerpt” doesn’t constitute such evidence.
Go read the entire article at the site.
Yup, that’s him. He said they took advantage of the stupidity of the American voters.
Jonathan Gruber, the loathsome, contemptuous architect of Obamacare has been caught out by Vermont's attorney general for corruption in a fraudulent billing scheme. According to the Daily Caller, Gruber sent out double-invoices and invoices for work that was never done in a disgusting scheme to foist single-payer insurance onto Vermont a couple years earlier.
The program was so bad that its left-wing governor scrapped it as something that would never work. The Daily Caller writes: Donovan, the attorney general and still another Democrat, said his office determined that Gruber did, in fact, violate the Vermont Civil False Claims Act, according to the Herald. Specifically, investigators concluded that Gruber sent two invoices – and possibly more – falsely charging the state and its taxpayers for work which was never actually completed by Gruber or any of his underlings.
It sounds a lot like the man who succeeded in foisting Obamacare on all of us, given the sneaky, slipshod tactics he bragged about to get it done: "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.
In at least the Vermont case, we learn that foisting bad insurance onto the public is also a scheme to get rich and profiteer in corruption. In the Obamacare case, we learn that foisting bad insurance is a bid to shovel something rotten down the public's throat to ensure the left's political power. In neither case is the Gruber offering anything the public would want.
That's the world of Jonathan Gruber: slipshod products and something sweet on the side for himself. The big question here is why he got such a slap on the wrist: (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
In case you’re wondering, yes, gets to keep the $2.4 million.
the stupidity of the American voters
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same thing BOTH parties counted on top pull off the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
A natural born citizen is born here with citizen parents.
No other citizenship(s).
Solely an American.
Why isn’t “fired” replaced with “indicted”?
“Why isn’t “fired” replaced with “indicted”?”
Yep, wondering the same thing. Fraud is not something that is legal....
If he committed fraud, what does it say Obamacare? Isn’t that fraud too?
The legel implications of him committing fraud would be voiding affordable healthcare act
in the interest of historical accuracy which this article appears to ignore, prof gruber was the architect for romneycare in mass, which became the template for obamacare.
First wife and her second husband were caught in a scheme to fraudulently bill a city for computer work in the early 80’s. They were lucky to get off with probation, while their boss went to prison
In a different era and society,this POS would be hung upside down and shot. The damage and cost by the sycophants of Kenyancare is staggering. Obviously he is the little fish as the big fish will never be held accountable.
Of course his firing will never be reported by the MSM/Drudge and other Fake News sites!
Bump
Was that his savings from switching to Obamacare?
Paging Jeff Sessions.........oh forget it, he recused himself from prosecuting any real criminals.
