Grubergate Update: Just Revealed Gruber Docs Will Send Democrats Running for Cover December 30, 2014 By Matthew Burke FacebookTwitterEmailPrintMore Obama Gruber Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber, who previously said that American voters were stupid and therefore must be duped into accepting Obamacare with lies, deception and trickery, has been caught in another revelation that will further embarrass the Obama Regime and by Democrats who wholeheartedly accepted the unpopular legislation, hook, line and sinker. Not only did Obama and his legion of liars tell America that we could keep our doctors and keep our policies under Obamacare, but we were repeatedly told that costs would decline. While those who suggested (i.e., Sarah Palin) that the still highly unpopular Democrat-passed legislation would use healthcare rationing as a strategy, they were laughed at and ridiculed. However, a newly discovered research document from Gruber, shows that the plan from the beginning was to ration care, and that Gruber knew the Obamacare scheme would NOT make healthcare more affordable. Uncovered by The Daily Caller, the Obamacare architect wrote in the 2009 policy brief, on page 10 under Affordability, “The problem is it starts to go hand in hand with the mandate; you can’t mandate insurance that’s not affordable. This is going to be a major issue.” Gruber goes on to admit that there were NO cost controls initially in Obamacare, that they would deceptively get people hooked on faux coverage, then pull the rug out from underneath them by rationing care: “So what’s different this time? Why are we closer than we’ve ever been before? Because there are no cost controls in these proposals. Because this bill’s about coverage. Which is good! Why should we hold 48 million uninsured people hostage to the fact that we don’t yet know how to control costs in a politically acceptable way? Let’s get the people covered and then let’s do cost control.” At the same time, Obama was lying to Americans, telling us that annual premium costs would decline by an average of $2,500 per family, a number that was apparently pulled out of thin air. Gruber then admits that, under Obamacare, the only way for the scheme to work will be by rationing care: “There’s no reason the American health care system can’t be, ‘You can have whatever you want, you just have to pay for it.’ That’s what we do in other walks of life. We don’t say everyone has to have a large screen TV. If you want a large screen TV, you have to pay for it. Basically the notion would be to move to a level where everyone has a solid basic insurance level of coverage. Above that people pay their own, without tax-subsidized dollars, to buy a higher level of coverage.”
