Just days after the mid-term elections that swept Republicans to record levels in the House and gave them control of the U.S. Senate, a video has surfaced featuring Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) “architect,” Jonathan Gruber.

In the video, Gruber candidly tells those in the room he was speaking in that a lack of transparency was necessary for ObamaCare to pass. Had the American people been told the truth, Gruber said, the bill would not have passed. “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage.”

Given the impact on full time employment, as well as on growing companies who may not want to grow past 50 workers, manufactured housing as well as every other industry in the nation is impacted as a result of the law as it now stands.

This marks the 3 major story to break about the ACA in a matter of days. 

 

This marks the 3 major story to break about the ACA in a matter of days. 

The Supreme Court will once more take up part of the law, projections for increased premiums are underway and the White House admits the number of sign-ups has likely been overstated.

These and other factors may set the stage for changes to the law in 2015, as pundits on both sides of the aisle say some Democrats may join with Republicans, thus distancing themselves via such a vote with the largely unpopular health care law. ##
