Gruber earned millions at federal, state levels (video trail of deceit grows longer)

“My job was just to see if the numbers added up,” Dr. Jonathan Gruber, the controversial architect of ObamaCare, told PBS two years ago.

And add up the numbers did – at least in terms of Gruber’s consulting fees. A Fox News review of state and federal websites, as well as published reports, finds the MIT economist----and his firm----have secured millions in federal and state contracts stretching back over the last fifteen years. Most famously, HHS retained Gruber March 2009 to produce, as the contract stipulated, “a series of technical memoranda on the estimated changes in health insurance coverage and associated costs and impacts to the government under alternative specifications of health system reform.”

That contract netted Gruber $95,000, and an additional HHS contract, inked that June, added $297,600 to the deal – steering almost $400,000 to the creator of the Gruber Microsimulation Model. Still another contract with the agency, as reported here, was said to have exceeded $2 million in value since 2007.

The NIH clinched a deal for $2.05 million, and the DOJ contracted with Gruber for nearly $1.74 million. Records show Gruber earned the DOJ fee for helping to develop viable incentives to be extended to the tobacco companies in order to dissuade them from targeting teen smokers. Similarly, Gruber collected $103,500 from the State Dept for his services as an expert witness, providing testimony in a NAFTA dispute with a Canadian tobacco firm.

Then there are the state governments. --SNIP--

I would argue there was not really any debate.
Arguing the point doesn't negate the fact that debates happened and were recorded.

“In fact, one of our core principles is that if you like the health care you have, you can keep it.” (Sen. Reid, Congressional Record, S.8642, 8/3/09)

You do know how to search the Congressional Record, don't you?

Making points or telling lies about the promised effects of the bill and debating the actual provisions, the substance, the words, are not the same.

Nancy Pelosi put and end to attempted debate by her statement that the bill had to be passed before it could be debated

BWAHAHAHAHA

I agree.
Nevertheless, specific, actual provisions were discussed.

Look for yourself...Congressional Record

Would you like me to be more specific on when to look or can you figure it out on your own?

A breach of the Conflict of Interest rules can bring serious consequences, especially if it involved Federal research funding.

Then again, who would investigate and bring charges?
