The Twisted Mind Of Jonathan Gruber

Capital New York describes M.I.T. professor Jonathan Gruber as " a key intellectual architect of President Obama's overhaul of the American health care system."

CapNy quotes an upset Gruber:

I'm frustrated that the future of the American health care system rests in the hands of one or two of these unelected people who might make the decision based on political grounds. It's very disturbing."
Well, blow me down. He's talking about the Supreme Court, of course.

So what is Gruber in favor of, giving choice back to the individual? Not exactly. He wants to be the decider on health insurance policies. How twisted can you get?

Here's Gruber on his plan for forcing people to buy health insurance:

The mandate is really the glue that holds this act together.
Oh yeah, coercion holds a lot of things together, including Guantanamo. How is it not the ultimate in hypocrisy for Gruber to be upset about the Supremes choosing for everyone, when he simply wants to be the chooser instead?

But wait, it gets worse. He also says:

Basically, this is the last hope for a free-market solution for covering the uninsured.
