Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber (MIT) admits it was intentionally mislabeled the “Affordable Care Act” because it wouldn’t have passed had they admitted it was a tax on the people holding the health insurance plans. It also would not have passed had they been transparent that healthy people would be... taxed to give money to sick people, and then he goes on to say that lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. He openly claimed he relied on what he called “the stupidity of the average American voter” to obscure certain provisions, while he earned over $6 million dollars in consulting fees. Obamacare did not fail. It did exactly what it was designed to do. It is a crime against humanity and it must be repealed.show more

Hmm

Gruber’s arrogance exposed the rot in D.C.’s healthcare racket. The ACA wasn’t about affordability—it was a wealth transfer scheme masked as reform, taxing the healthy to subsidize a broken system. Gruber pocketed $6M while mocking voters, proving the real “stupidity” was trusting bureaucrats to fix healthcare. Medicaid’s $55B annual fraud, hospital price-gouging, and Big Pharma’s monopoly power are the real crimes. Repeal is just step one. The solution? Burn the whole corrupt model: slash bloated contracts, end patent abuse, and prioritize patients over D.C. grifters.

Translation: ‘We lied because the truth wouldn’t sell.’

It should be illegal to lie about the contents of the bill. Affordable Care Act and the Inflation Reduction Act were two of the biggest FU to Americans in recent history. It should be prohibited to mislead and cover up screwing over the taxpayer for lies.

pass it so we will know whats in it!

Why did you cut out our closing screen with @AmerComm logo and research credit to @phillyrich1???

The Gruber story has been out there for years. The fact no one really covers it tells you all you need to know about media.

Seriously hurt my once thriving practice. Patients went from full coverage to massive deductibles and burdensome co-pays. Made me a solid red voter for life.

Swindler

I would like to see where my stupid America vote was when the ACA was voted in. Oh yeah, the stupid American voter was never given a vote, ever. In fact, if we disagreed with the ACA and decided to not participate, we were fined, by the fucking Fed.

Bro makes $6m stealing public money and now seeks forgiveness through mea culpa?

We knew it was a scam then and get reminded every year with increases. Now, it's feeding the beast and can't be stopped! Killing the middle class while feeding campaigns and @realDonaldTrump is evil for stopping the scam. It's time, he's shown the fraud, we need to pull the rug

UnitedHealth Group, the largest health care company in the world, was instrumental in drafting ACA rules to create a wealth shift to them and other medical corporations

Accountability means charging those who knowingly commit fraud through the exploitation of others.

🤔

2 words : THEY LIED

And the stupid "maverick" RINO Jon McCain

You can’t blame it on the stupidity of the people in whole. we vote or thought we were voting for representatives in the house & senate & we did not ultimately vote for ACA they did. They betrayed us then & are still betraying us regarding ACA. Make Accountability Great Again 🇺🇸

What, they lied? Who would have thought it possible? Oh wait most CEOs of major healthcare companies told congress this would happen, even though they would profit from it. Obama still lied and send it would save everyone money.🤬🤬🤬

First he crafted the language to disguise the details and effects of the ACA, then he brags about the lies and the stupidity of the American people, then he lies about lying. This man shouldn’t have a job at @MIT and shouldn’t have any credibility. Our society has declined.

We paid the penalty rather than pay anything else. It was always a scam. We never wanted anything to do with it. And we can’t afford to pay all that for insurance and then get zero benefit from our money. We get zero benefits from obummercare.

Gruber is delusional. The ACA passed bc Nancy Pelosi pulled a dishonest, underhanded parliamentary move--and that's the ONLY reason it 'passed.'

Follow the money… The top five or six largest for-profit health insurers saw combined revenues surge from around $245 billion in 2010 to over $1.1 trillion by 2021, with profits more than tripling from $16.9 billion to $60.7 billion during that period

@lizleigh923 Obama’s Affordable Care Act has decimated healthcare for the middle class.

@King_Anticommie It only passed because every democrat voted for it. No republicans did.

Why would any politician sign the thing into law when Pelosi said "You have to pass it to find out what is in it"? This is sheer stupidity.

Just like the Democrat Inflation Reduction Act which had the exact opposite effect when passed. From the Fed creation in 1913 (Wilson), gold confiscation in 1933 (Rossevelt) Cuba/Bay of Pigs 1961 (Kennedy) Removal of the 25% Gold Cover (Johson), Democrats ruin all they touch.

Let’s cut through the left’s endless spin and tell the unvarnished truth: Obamacare was never about “affordable healthcare” — it was a premeditated, multi-billion-dollar scam designed to lie to, exploit, and fleece hardworking Americans, and Jonathan Gruber’s own words prove it beyond any shadow of a doubt. This MIT architect — the man who built this monstrosity from the ground up — didn’t just admit they mislabeled it the “Affordable Care Act” to sneak it past voters. He bragged about it. He openly confessed they hid the fact that it was a tax on Americans who already had health insurance, because if they’d told the truth, the bill would’ve died in Congress faster than a failed socialist experiment. He admitted they buried the core mandate that forced healthy people to subsidize sick people — a massive wealth transfer that had nothing to do with “care” and everything to do with expanding government control. And the most disgusting part? He crowed about relying on the “stupidity of the average American voter” to obscure these provisions, all while padding his own pockets with $6 MILLION in consulting fees off the backs of the people he was actively conning. The left wants you to believe Obamacare was a “well-intentioned mistake” that just didn’t age well. That’s a lie. It didn’t fail — it did exactly what it was designed to do. It jacked up premiums for middle-class families. It put insurance companies and bureaucrats in charge of your medical decisions. It turned healthcare from a personal choice into a government-mandated racket. And every single Democrat who voted for it knew exactly what they were doing: they were trading your financial security for political power. This isn’t just a policy failure — it’s a crime against humanity. It’s a deliberate betrayal of the American people by a ruling class that thinks we’re too dumb to see through their lies. And the only way to fix this? It’s not “tweaking” the system or “improving” the scam. It’s repealing Obamacare root and branch, burning it to the ground, and replacing it with something that puts patients and doctors back in charge — not Washington cronies and millionaire consultants who laugh at us while they steal our money. If you’re still defending this fraud, you’re not standing up for healthcare — you’re standing up for government tyranny, and you’re complicit in the lie that’s been crushing hardworking families for years.

Did you say "Hans Gruber"?

Same as the inflation reduction act. The biggest robbery in history for the green new deal.

Another destructive, conniving, evil jBolshevik. Omg these termites are destroying the USA.

We’ve known all of this for years but nothing ever came of it, no one was ever held accountable, no one in government will EVER be held accountable so long as they are part of the Big Government Machine that seeks to expand its size, scope, & potential for corruption.

Idk. But I need a doctor

@Viking_HeartMN Let’s be clear: we KNEW this wasn’t going to be a solution. We KNEW it was garbage. They rammed the bill through. They made the bill so huge it would take months to read. It wasn’t like it overwhelmingly passed. It was fought against.

I have canceled my health insurance. I refuse to subsidize anyone anymore while receiving inferior care. It's total bullshit.
