ObamaCare cost spike is Trump?s fault, ACA architect Gruber says | Fox News
" ObamaCare co-architect Jonathan Gruber -- who infamously said “the stupidity of the American voter” helped get the measure to become law -- now blames Trump for rising premium costs.
“Whose fault is this?” Gruber asked on “Fox News Sunday.” “Since President Trump has been elected … premiums are going up and insurers are exiting.”
Gruber, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor, argued that perceived rising premium costs are really a one-time increase in 2016 to cover “massively underpriced” policies for the first two years of the 2010 law. "
He also said the increase “fixed” the problem because insurance companies then showed signs of profitability and talked optimistically about continued participation in the program. "
Are you ****ing ****ting me ??!! Clearly Jonathon Gruber's opionions about the American people being a bunch of idiots hasn't changed one bit and as for insurance companies profitiabillity ?
GAO found Obama admin illegally diverted over 21 billion dollars from the Treasury to struggling " profitable " insurance companies..

Sorry, dude. It started failing long before Trump ever entered the scene.
