George Will: Gruber’s Comments ‘Strike at the Legitimacy’ of ObamaCare

Will’s Take: Gruber’s Comments ‘Strike at the Legitimacy’ of Obamacare (National Review Online)

The recently surfaced comments by key Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber raise serious questions about the “legitimacy of the law,” George Will said on Fox News Sunday. In newly released videos this week, Gruber credits the law’s passage to a lack of transparency and deliberate attempts to mislead voters.

While making sure Americans have access to insurance has become “part of the ethic of the country,” Will said Obamacare is far from the best solution to achieve that standard, and Gruber’s comments appear to acknowledge that. “The fact is what Gruber does is strike at the legitimacy of the law,” he said.
