Jonathan Gruber told CNN this morning that Obamacare is working as it was designed, that it doesn’t need fixing.
However, he did say it could work better and explained to CNN that penalizing people more is the answer to the premium hikes:
It’s bad enough and completely unconstitutional that Obamacare has a mandate which penalizes people for not having healthcare. But when people exert their constitutional freedom and pay the penalty instead, Gruber says we need to increase the penalty to force more people to sign up for healthcare.
In other words, people aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do so we have to twist their arms even harder to make them do what we want.
What a schmuck.
