Obamacare, Is the American Public Stupid or were they Deceived....Again




According to government sources, Obamacare is a resounding success. Yet industry experts and pundits examining the implementation say otherwise.

More information is forthcoming about ObamaCare. Jonathon Gruber, Professor of Economics at M.I.T a primary author for the Affordable Care Act was interviewed by

He was a key architect of both the 2006 Massachusetts health care reform, sometimes referred to as "Romneycare", and the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as "Obamacare".[1]


Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) made a guest appearance on “Hannity” Monday and said that embattled Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber should be made to give back the money he received for his work on the health care bill.

ObamaCare Architect Thinks You’re Stupid; Pelosi Does Too

Gruber admitted multiple times that Obamacare was written in a non-transparent way intentionally, to exploit the “stupidity” of the American voter.

Taxpayers subsidizing 76% of premium under health care law Associated Press

Healthcare.gov  If you missed signing up, here are some other alternatives

People who signed up for coverage under President Obama's health care law are paying about $80 a month in premiums on average, the administration reported Wednesday.


The new numbers from the Health and Human Services Department cover only the 36 states where the federal government took the lead in setting up new insurance markets, accounting for about 5.4 million of the 8 million people who signed up nationally.


-- Taxpayers are subsidizing 76 percent of the average monthly premium in the 36 federally administered markets.
-- The average premium is $346 a month, but the typical enrollee pays just $82. Tax credits averaging $264 a month cover the difference. The government pays the subsidy directly to insurers.
-- After tax credits, Mississippians paid the least for coverage - averaging just $23 a month on average premiums of $438. Among people in the 36 states, New Jersey residents paid the most - an average of $148 on premiums averaging $465 a month.
-- For this year, the average consumer could pick from five insurance companies and 47 different plans, although choice was more limited in a small number of states. From a range of platinum, gold, silver and bronze plans, most people picked silver.
-- There was a link between greater competition and lower premiums. For each additional insurer in a local market, premiums for the benchmark silver plan declined by 4 percent.
-- Premiums varied widely between states, ranging from an average of $536 in Wyoming to $243 in Utah.
Federal officials say they don't yet have complete data on the 14 states running their own markets.
