Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) released the following statement: Today, Jonathan Gruber, the Obamacare architect best known for his insulting remarks about the American people, provided a rehearsed, contrived testimony before the Committee that did little to shed light on important questions regarding the construction and implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Gruber did his best to play dumb when questioned about his knowledge of a variety of topics from whether he predicted thousands of Americans would lose their health insurance under the ACAto how much he has been paid by the federal government for helping to create Obamacare. After providing the Committee with 16 pages detailing his accomplishments and expertise related to Obamacare, Gruber spent 4 hours denying even the most basic knowledge of the construction and implementation of the ACA, Meadows said. In a similar fashion, Ms. Tavenner continued to deny knowing about the problems plaguing the Healthcare.gov site days before the roll out, despite evidence of emails showing her knowledge of the issues. I appreciate the witnesses' willingness to apologize to the American people, but found their refusal to answer some fairly simple questions to be counter-productive, Congressman Mark Meadows added.
