Economist On HHS Payroll While Pushing Obamacare To Media

More Socialist Democrat Corruption

There is a never ending list of corruption and lack of ethics with socialist Barack Hussein Obama, his administration, and the Democrat Party.  From FoxNews.com:  "MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, one of the leading academic defenders of health care reform, is taking heat for failing to disclose consistently that he was under contract with the Department of Health and Human Services while he was touting the Democrats' health proposals the media."

"Gruber, according to federal government documents, is under a $297,600 contract until next month to provide 'technical assistance' in evaluating health care reform proposals. He was under a $95,000 HHS contract before that. But while he was being paid to provide his services to HHS, he was also fending off health care reform critics in the media. Gruber was one of the prominent analysts to rebut an insurance industry report from Pricewaterhouse Coopers in October saying premiums would shoot up if a health care bill passes."

While he was being paid to provide his services to HHS, he was also fending off health care reform critics in the media. Gruber was one of the prominent analysts to rebut an insurance industry report from PricewaterhouseCoopers in October saying premiums would shoot up if a health care bill passes. And he has recently written columns defending specific provisions in the House and Senate bills, particularly the "Cadillac tax" on high-cost insurance plans.

Government documents explaining the terms of his contract say that he was "uniquely positioned" for providing analysis for the health department's assistant secretary for planning and evaluation, describing him as a "recognized expert in health policy in economics."

He was “uniquely positioned” to give Obama and the Democrats talking points on Obamacare socialist health care.  It doesn’t take a degree in economics to know there is NO way health care costs are not going to go up.  They will go up.  Obama, Gruber, and the Democrats know they’ll go up.  America, Obama and the Democrats don’t care.

The corruption in Obama’s administration and the Democrat Party grows ever day.  Are there any ethical Democrats left?
