Gruber, who teaches economics, (allegedly), at MIT, was the main architect for Obamacare, and prior to that, Romneycare in Massachusetts. Both have been abject failures. The only reason Romneycare hasn\u2019t garnered the coverage of it\u2019s failings is Obamacare came out and replaced it. (What is it with Progressives and their desire to reinforce failure?) Now, with Obamacare on the ropes and waiting for a stake to be driven through it, Gruber has once again shown up with his reasons as to why it has failed miserably. Here are the details from The Washington Times<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n After being told that Iowa\u2019s lone insurance company in 94 of its 99 counties is considering dropping out, Mr. Gruber<\/a> said, \u201cLook, and whose fault is this?\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cBefore President Trump<\/a> was elected, there were no counties in America that did not have an insurer,\u201d Mr. Gruber<\/a> said on \u201cFox News Sunday.\u201d \u201cSince President Trump<\/a> has been elected \u2026\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Host Chris Wallace then interrupted Mr. Gruber<\/a> and said, \u201cWait, you\u2019re going to blame the problems with Obamacare on President Trump<\/a>?\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n Yes Chris, this moronic Moonbat is. Typical of the delusional Progressive Elites, he refuses to acknowledge that his stupid idea is a complete and utter failure. Trying to blame President Trump for the insurance companies pulling out of the Exchanges demonstrates to the world that he should not be allowed into a classroom. The insurance companies have been pulling out of the exchanges<\/a> for several years now. Why? Because remaining in them would have driven them into bankruptcy.<\/p>\n An MIT economics professor, Mr. Gruber<\/a> was widely criticized after a video surfaced in 2014 in which he said that the \u201cstupidity of the American voter\u201d was key to Obamacare\u2019s passage. <\/b><\/p>\n I wrote about Gruber\u2019s remarks<\/a> back in 2014 when he opened his mouth and inserted his foot, right up to the hip. It\u2019s nice to see his arrogance hasn\u2019t diminished since then.<\/p>\n Signed into law in 2010 by President Barack Obama, the Affordable Care Act has been plagued for years by lower-than-expected enrollment and higher-than-expected costs. In his Sunday interview, however, Mr. Gruber<\/a> said the president has undermined Obamacare since taking office Jan. 20. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cInsurers\u2019 profits were trending positively, insurers were saying positive things about their ability to stay in the exchange, to succeed,\u201d Mr. Gruber<\/a> said. \u201cThen you have a president who comes in, undercuts open enrollment, doesn\u2019t honor the obligations this law makes to insurers.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n On what planet was this happening? The only reason the insurance companies were making any money was due to Obama literally looting the treasury and illegally transferring funds to them. All President Trump did was enforce the law, put forward by Gruber and shut down the illegal payments. Of course, Gruber\u2019s ignores that little fact. No, he blames the lack of advertising for the collapse of Obamacare.<\/p>\n Republican strategist Karl Rove said that Mr. Trump<\/a> may have stopped the Affordable Care Act enrollment advertising after assuming office, but that Obamacare\u2019s problems with soaring premiums and fleeing insurers began long before that. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cTrump<\/a> stopped the ads on the 26th of January, and the end of the enrollment period was the 31st,\u201d Mr. Rove said. \u201cReally? The problems of Obamacare are going to be solved by four days\u2019 worth of TV ads?\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n House Republicans passed Thursday a repeal-and-replace bill, the American Health Care Act, which Mr. Gruber<\/a> criticized as inferior to Obamacare. <\/b><\/p>\n Nothing is going to \u201cFix\u201d Obamacare other than taking out behind the barn and shooting it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
