On June 13, 2012, Obamacare Jonathan Gruber was interviewed by Frontline. He told them that the Cadillac tax issue was addressed in 2009. Obama knew it was going to be a problem, and they all agreed to lie about it.
What Jonathan Gruber is taking heat for right now, was planned out specifically with Barack Obama. It wasnt just him. It was all of them, with Obama in the room taking part.

I’m calling the pun police!
he also met with Obama in 2006. Before Barry announced he was running for President. The subject was healthcare.
“with Obama in the room taking part.’
Isn’t gruber supposed to throw himself under the bus with the others and protect the maximum leader?
A devious and deceitful plot from the very start.
Of course, WE KNEW that all along.
OBAMA LIED, Healthcare Died!!
And what is most galling is the fact that he will get away with destroying this country (always has been his intent) without our stalwart Pubbies trying to stop him.
The life and future of the GOP depends on what it does to stop Obama’s aberrant leadership between now and 2016.
If the GOP screws up or gives in to Obama between now and the next elections, they’ll be toast for good and might as well merge with the RATS because the electorate will realize that there is very little to distinguish between the two political parties.
They must start with — no more Bushes, ever! Get rid of the GOPe.

Busy little grifter.
Fraud big time.
No. He is a Hussein. He’s a lying sack of Sunni, which is why the Iranians are dissing him.

I thought it was his ears that got bigger when he lies.
The estimated thresholds are $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for family coverage. The thresholds may be increased depending on actual medical inflation between 2010 and 2018 using a measure that looks to the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program. The thresholds may also be increased for individuals in high-risk professions and pursuant to an age and gender adjustment.
We expect the IRS will provide additional guidance regarding the thresholds and the adjustments to the threshold in its regulations.

So in other words, if you have a job with a company whose benefits includes health insurance whose threshold exceeds $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for family coverage, an excise tax of 40% will be levied on the employer.
Who takes the hit?
In particular, he said, more companies will move toward plans that have higher "cost-sharing" by workers, that is plans with higher deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses.
"A tax that is designed to hit employers will have the effect of harming employees," Troy said.
The Affordable Care Act included the Cadillac Tax as a means to control the spiraling cost of health care, by putting pressure on employers to offer less-generous health insurance plans than they have been. The theory is that if people see more of the direct costs of their health care, they will be more conservative in using their insurance.
