Jonathan Gruber: ACA Was ‘the Single Greatest Expansion of Insurance in Our Nation’s History’

RUSH EXCERPT:
GRUBER: “So first of all, let's remember that it took 100 years to get the Affordable Care Act. We tried to reform health care every 24 years. I think the first key thing is we have it make sure to lockdown the gains that we've made. The affordable care act was the single greatest expansion of history in our history. Two -- the con is that Medicare is actually not a very well managed program in the sense that there's a lot of excessive health care spending. In some sense the key point is we haven't really grappled with the political difficulties of getting there. I think it's a fine aspiration, but I still think we haven't grappled with the fact it's going to require massive tax increase and it's going to real shake up our system. I just don't objection the public is ready for that.”
