"Speak-O", "Typo"






Then and Now: Obamacare Architect Flips Position on Key Aspect of Law

One of the architects of Obamacare has changed his statement on state exchanges and federal subsidies.

Federal courts in Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia, this week issued opposing rulings on whether state residents can get tax credits from the federal government if their state did not set up its own health care exchange.

In an interview on MSNBC Tuesday, MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, who helped design the Affordable Care Act, dismissed the D.C. court's position – one he advocated in a 2012 speech. On Friday, Gruber said that was a "speak-o" similar to a typo, and that he didn't mean what he said in 2012.

"It is unambiguous this is a typo. Literally every single person involved in the crafting of this law has said that it's a typo, that they had no intention of excluding the federal states and why would they?" Gruber said.

What might end up hanging this asshole is the fact that, even though he's never been a legislator or a political appointee, he HAS been paid by the Kenyan's administration (uh, excuse me, I mean by the American taxpayers) roughly $400,000 to advise on KenyaCare.
