Barack Obama, Jonathan Gruber, and of course Nancy Pelosi. Probably Harry Reid, but he’s such a moron that he probably believed it.
Obama Adviser Jonathan Gruber In 2009: Obamacare Will NOT Be Affordable
Gruber said that Obamacare had no cost controls in it and would not be affordable in an October 2009 policy brief, presented here exclusively by TheDC. At the time, Gruber had already personally counseled Obama in the Oval Office and served on Obama’s presidential transition team. Obama, meanwhile, told the American people that their premiums would go down dramatically.
“The problem is it starts to go hand in hand with the mandate; you can’t mandate insurance that’s not affordable. This is going to be a major issue,” Gruber admitted in an October 2, 2009 lecture, the transcript of which comprised the policy brief.
Anyone who votes for any Democrat politicians from this day forward gets no sympathy from me when they find out that they won’t have the coverage they thought that they were paying for.
That moron Sarah Palin wasn’t such a moron after all.
“There’s no reason the American health care system can’t be, ‘You can have whatever you want, you just have to pay for it.’ That’s what we do in other walks of life. We don’t say everyone has to have a large screen TV. If you want a large screen TV, you have to pay for it. Basically the notion would be to move to a level where everyone has a solid basic insurance level of coverage. Above that people pay on their own, without tax-subsidized dollars, to buy a higher level of coverage.”
I guess those death panels weren’t something that she made up after all.
