Default Professor Gruber

Would anyone be pleased to have their children in the academic care of Professor Gruber? Is this the type of ethics that permeate our finest"Universities"?

Or both, most likely.

Wasn't Gruber Mitt Romney's chief lieutenant when it came to writing Romneycare?

Maybe. Maybe he didn't have to lie then like he has since counseling Obama and calling the voters stupid!

this sounds like a political discussion, better to be on a different forum

It's Gruber's lack of ethics and deceit, not his economic and actuarial skills in calculating the dollars and where they'd have to be gotten and funneled once the ACA was enacted by a "tortured" process:

Why are we still discussing the ACA? Hasn't that dastardly law been repealed? Congress has voted over 55 times to repeal, so why is it still around?

By early next month, this law will be history and we can go back to those heady days when insurance companies could deny coverage if a person had a pre-existing condition, drop your coverage if you got sick, or (my personal favorite) charge women more for the same coverage as men.

Not sure what this has to do with the current discussion.

Can you explain how this is relative ?

He told an untruth (either once or twice)...does not matter what about. Who cares where he worked before !!!

Gruber's comments on how they designed the cost analyses and language of ACA "in a tortured way" using "lack of transparency as a huge political advantage" by exploiting "the stupidity of the American voters" is the subject.

It's seen and heard straight from the horse's mouth in the video link I posted earlier in the thread.

Perhaps because it is not 100% implemented as of yet. I think it is 2016 when the companies start paying more taxes.....this is going to be rolling out for awhile yet.
