TIME reports the “Truth About Gruber-Gate” but buries the lede

Kate Pickert from Time wrote an article a few days ago called “Truth about Gruber-Gate” but then buried the lead 9 paragraphs down:

In 2013, for instance, I asked Gruber if Democrats understood that the ACA would slowly and methodically erode the system under which millions of Americans get health insurance through their jobs. In pitching the ACA, Democrats had been adamant that the law would support and sustain the employer-based system, not erode it. But Gruber knew better and he told me so, likening workers being kicked off job-based health plans to people “falling off a building,” an outcome that architects of the ACA knew was likely and had planned for.

If you like your employer-based plan you can keep your employer-based plan. Yeah, right.
