The recent leak of video showing Obamacare consultant and MIT economist Jonathan Gruber calling the American people stupid has Fournier bummed. See how he concludes his column:
Gruber's remarks are evidence that the administration intentionally deceived the American public on the costs of the programs.
Obama and his advisers knowingly misled the public during his 2012 reelection campaign by repeatedly saying that, under Obamacare, people could keep their doctors and keep their health plans. To mislead is to lie.
I have to admit, as a supporter, that Obamacare was built and sold on a foundation of lies. No way around it.
