Good day all. The new Enrollment period for Obama404Care starts soon, now that the election is over. As we all know, Obamacare is even less popular now then it was at the rollout last year. In the year since then, we have seen utter incompetence and outright lies regarding the creation of this fiasco.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s come out that the person who was instrumental in the creation of Obamacare flat out lied about what they did to get this thing through Congress. The fact that they had to lie is remarkable since the Democrats had outright control of congress. This story started exploding when a video of one of the main architects, Jonathon Gruber said that hiding the details was the major reason they were able to get it passed. Here are some of the details from Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber said that lack of transparency was a major part of getting ObamaCare passed, and that it was written in such a way as to take advantage of “the stupidity of the American voter.” Gruber, the MIT professor who served as a technical consultant to the Obama administration during ObamaCare\u2019s design, also made clear during a panel quietly captured on video that the individual mandate, which was only upheld by the Supreme Court because it was a tax, was not actually a tax. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"nothing<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh Boy! I think we\u2019re now seeing the reason that the United States Supreme Court has decided to hear the King vs Burwell ((King v. Burwell, Halbig v. Burwell, Pruitt v. Burwell, and Indiana v. IRS<\/a>)) case, bypassing the D.C. Court of Appeals. The original reason I thought that the USSC chose to hear the case was due to Harry Reid and Barack Obama packing the court with judges who would not rule against the government. (The case is over the plain language saying that if states don\u2019t set up an exchange, there can be no subsidies) They might have chosen to hear the case since it now looks like the Obama Administration flat out lied to the court about the Obamacare mandate. Here\u2019s the video of Gruber explaining how they rigged the bill so that it wouldn\u2019t look like a tax bill.<\/p>\n

[youtuber youtube=’http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G790p0LcgbI’]<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a transcript of what this arrogant slimeball said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it\u2019s written to do that. In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in \u2013 you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed\u2026 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\u2026 Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I\u2019d rather have this law than not.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"holes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So who is Jonathon Gruber ((Jonathan Gruber (economist)<\/a>))? He\u2019s been a professor of Economics specializing in the healthcare field at MIT since 1991. He\u2019s 49 years old and from what I can see, has never worked a day in the private sector. He is your typical, over-educated elitist pig who thinks the average person is a complete moron who can\u2019t be trusted to make his or her own decisions.<\/p>\n

\"snob_che_frame\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bits and pieces of Grubers deception regarding Obamacare and the means with which it was passed into law have been dribbling out since Chief Justice John Roberts essentially rewrote the law to make it a tax. With this video, and the flagrant deceptions and outright lies perpetrated by Gruber and the Obama administration, Roberts might decide he made a major blunder in allowing Obamacare to live.<\/p>\n

\"recovering<\/a><\/p>\n

With the case the USSC just decided to hear, which will look at the actual text of the law ((Text of the law and regulation<\/a>)) regarding the state health exchanges and the subsidies, there is a fair chance that they will rule that people who went through the federal exchange and received the subsidies, aren\u2019t legally entitled to them. The text is rather clear on the matter, with additional evidence that if there was no state exchange, then there would be no subsidies for residents of that state. There is also more evidence from Gruber that it was the intent of the law that only state run exchanges were eligible to offer the subsidies. Reason.com went into this in detail<\/a> along with a link to the video. I\u2019m also including the video for you to watch. It is rather lengthy and detailed as it is a presentation.<\/p>\n

[youtuber youtube=’http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GtnEmPXEpr0′]<\/p>\n

If the court rules that the text as written means what it says, that Congress intended the tax subsidies be applicable only to the people who uses state run exchanges, and were not available to those using the federal exchanges, then Obamacare is dead. The plan by Gruber and the others who put this pile of horse manure together was to get the states to build their own exchanges and punish the people of states that didn\u2019t build an exchange.<\/p>\n

\"The-Good-Idea-Fairy-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we saw last year, more than half the states declined to build an exchange, and most of the other states that did were forced to close them down and push people to the federal exchange. The debacle of the state exchanges is still ongoing of course, with a number of states still trying to get theirs to work. Thanks to Gruber\u2019s being to clever by half, he may have killed his own \u201cbaby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Epic_Facepalm_by_RJTH\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a lawyer, but I can\u2019t see how an honest court can rule in any other way than the words as written mean just what they say. Pity that most Liberal judges really aren\u2019t that honest. We will find out next summer. As to Gruber? He should be hauled up in front of Congress and made to explain himself. I\u2019m sure Representative Gowdy can build a nice little perjury trap for this arrogant totalitarian statist.<\/p>\n
