Gruber Revealed Deception About Obamacare Included Spiking Premiums

By Douglas V. Gibbs

When the Democrats, and President Barack Obama promised you could keep your doctor, and that your insurance cost would be going down, they were lying. . . they knew that the Affordable Care Act would raise premiums, and destroy the private health insurance industry.  That was the plan from the beginning, and conservative pundits knew it.  But understand, Obamacare was never designed to succeed.  The goal was not for Obamacare to become the permanent law of the land, but for it to destroy the private health insurance industry, and then be such a failure that the liberal leftists would be able to put into place single payer, also known as socialized medicine, or universal healthcare.

Jonathan Gruber's testimony that the Obama administration purposely deceived the public is of no surprise.  It is that, now, with Gruber singing like a canary, the rest of the nation gets to hear the truth.

The spin, however, has been incredible.  Suddenly, Democrats swear they don't even know who Gruber is, and are ignoring the damaging words by the MIT economist that was an adviser, and architect, of the Affordable Care Act.
