Jon Gruber, Asked About His Second Statement That Only State Exchanges Are Eligible For Subsidies: "Same Answer" (That Is, The Second Time Was Also a "Speak-O")

“Same answer”: So very many speak-o’s http://t.co/A1yQAIxzBL

That comes from Suderman's update (near the bottom):

A second recording has surfaced showing Gruber making similar statements about subsidies not being available on federally run exchanges. Asked over email whether those remarks were a mistake, too, Gruber wrote back, "same answer."

MorgenR finds it odd that an off-the-cuff speak-o should appear in a speaker's prepared remarks.

Funny thing about this other "off the cuff" Gruber comment, it was part of his prepared remarks. Weird.
