RomneyCare/ObamaCare Architect Jonathan Gruber Is Having A Bad Week

First, the State of Vermont stopped paying him when it came to light he held Americans in such low regard. The state's auditor has found some fishy items in Gruber's billing and has asked the state's AG to investigate the matter.

Now comes word that the new Republican Governor of Massachusetts has fired him from the state's exchange board.

Gov. Charlie Baker has demanded and received the resignations of four members of the state Health Connector board, including MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber, who touched off a national uproar late last year with videotaped comments about misleading marketing of the Affordable Care Act and derogatory remarks about the intelligence of the American people.

Gruber was appointed to the board in 2006 by then Governor Mitt Romney and re-appointed by Governor Deval Patrick. The other three board members asked to resign – John Bertko, Rick Jakious and George Gonser – were all original Patrick appointees.

Local crime reporter Sarah Klift seems upset at the news.

Consider this my gift to you after bringing so much of the GOP's garbage to the blog today. But don't get comfortable, we're back at it in the morning.
