Two healthy adults one in his 60's and one almost 60 will be paying 24, 000 in 2017 for a basic plan... no thanks... we'll be paying the penalty tax which we shouldn't have too. This guy has rocks in his head!

Give me a break! Companies are choosing to not grow because of ObamaCare penalties, the cost is far too high for small companies to absorb, it takes other more cost effective health care options off the table, and many of the mandates contained in ObamaCare are forcing some companies to choose between staying in operations or stay open and enact these mandates against the better moral judgement. Larger companies like HobbyLobby can fight back, but many small companies can't afford to and close. Sad. It's a garbage law that should be repealed quickly so the economy can BOOM!!

Now you know why the people revolted on Nov 8th

My opinion of MIT dropped significantly after seeing this guy lie and squirm.

I can no longer afford insurance due to the price increases and will be uninsured for the first time. That is the fact. 100% increase on my premiums.

Men like this is why people were pissed off enough to elect Trump.

[InternetSavage]

Oh, right, the cost of doing business has nothing to do with economic growth. That makes total sense.

[dograngler]

Yep... People stuck with high insurance prems. and deducts aren't allowing them to spend to raise the economy.

anyone that sides with gruber think on this. i worked manufacturing with the best health plan in my state, 1 year before obamacare. a month after it was approved lost my health plan, lost my doctor, and had a new provider, that forced me to pay more money for less coverage.

[jaewokG]

i never have to go to a doctor anymore because when i'm not feeling well, i watch video of gruber getting his ass handed to him for statements like "we're seeing the cost of health ins grow at the slowest rate in 8 yrs" and since laughter is the best medicine, i nearly overdose with hysteria

[margocosby]

Clearly, these elitists do not live in the real world. Hail Queen MARIA,

[bobwhite]

Any one still not understand while Trump was elected?

"please don't use the word fact"...lol every democrat's nightmare!

This guy is totally an artificial intelligent talking head not a human. Like the automated answering service. Inside his head has nothing but digital data input. The program needs lots of improvement.
