He tells the truth: why does everybody hate him?

Jonathan Gruber has a way of speaking that is blunt and clear. Here is a link to a pdf of a policy brief he wrote in 2009, admitting that The Affordable Care Act has no cost controls.
"That’s why I say, let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Let’s get the bill done now that covers people for health insurance, and then let’s move forward to cost control as we can do it, as we go along."
