| The ObamaCare Death Panels Were a Forecast Before the Bill Was Law |
President Obama’s health care adviser Jonathan Gruber said that the Affordable Care Act would definitely not be affordable while he was writing the bill with the White House.
Gruber said that ObamaCare had no cost controls in it and would not be affordable in an October 2009 policy brief, presented exclusively by The Daily Caller.
At the time, Gruber had already personally counseled Obama in the Oval Office and served on Obama’s presidential transition team.
Obama, told the American people that their premiums would go down dramatically.
Gruber also said that the only way to control costs is to effectively deny treatment.
The real substance of cost control is all about a single thing: telling patients they can’t have something they want. It’s about telling patients, that surgery doesn’t do any good, so if you want it you have to pay the full cost.“There’s no reason the American health care system can’t be whatever you want, you just have to pay for it. 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. Above that people pay on their own, without tax-subsidized dollars, to buy a higher level of coverage,” said Gruber.
And despite the president’s pitches, Obama knew that his health care bill was unlikely to control costs, Gruber said.
There are still more than 45 million people without health care coverage despite what the whitehouse tries to spin.
