Remember John Gruber? You know, that Harvard-educated “intellectual” who help the previous      gang of naïve and foolish children that somehow conned the American voters into letting them run things in DC      last Administration draft that abomination called the     Patently Pathetic and Awful Collection of Asininity      Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (AKA “ObamaCare”)?  That incredibly bad law that our new adult leadership in DC is trying to change before it bankrupts the nation?

Sure you remember him. That’s the same elitist jerk who believes – and stated – that American voters have a “lack of economic understanding”. He’s also the same tool who was caught on video discussing ObamaCare and saying, “The stupidity of the American voter . . . was really critical for the thing to pass.”

Well, he’s running his yap yet again. Now, he’s saying that ObamaCare price increases (presumably the ones that just occurred) are Trump’s fault. And he’s also claiming those increases were a “one time” event that “fixed” ObamaCare.

I’d say YGBSM, but we see these kind of      bald-faced lies      “creative stories” all the time from the political left.

Um, dipstick . . . the 2017 premium increases were announced about two weeks prior to the 2016 Presidential election. Trump wasn’t POTUS then; the SCoaMF that lent “ObamaCare” it’s nickname was the POTUS when those price increased were determined and announced. And until the early morning of 9 November 2016, few expected Trump to be the next POTUS.

In short, Trump had nothing to do with this mess.  This one’s the SCoaMF’s “baby” – warts and all.

Further, the 2017 increases announced in late 2016 were hardly a one-time deal. ObamaCare premiums have been rising in most markets for years. And the system is hardly “fixed” now – it’s so bad off financially that virtually no insurers are making any money from their ObamaCare policies. Instead, they’re losing money in bundles.  And they’re still pulling out of state health insurance exchanges.

You know, for a highly educated “eliteist”, the man just doesn’t seem particularly bright. He can’t manage to figure out that the temporal sequence here (price increases announced prior to the election, which Trump was widely expected to lose) kinda rules out Trump having anything whatsoever to do with this year’s ObamaCare price increases. He also can’t seem to grasp that a multi-year pattern of moderate to large annual premium increases virtually nationwide demonstrates rather conclusively that the last such premium increase was hardly a “one time event”. And, finally, he doesn’t seem to realize that insurers opting out of the market in droves because they’re losing money by the ton annually is evidence that the system is broken – badly.

In fact, it certainly seems like he’s an “elitist” educated at a “highly-prestegious liberal university” with delusions of superiority who in reality appears have significant difficulties with both logic and getting his facts straight, and who also can’t accept the fact that they’re far from infallible.  In other words:  rather than being “superior”, he doesn’t have much of a clue.  But he thinks he does.

Sounds familiar.  All too familiar.
