On the same morning that the New York Times published an editorial claiming that Jonathan Gruber’s role in crafting Obamacare was “limited,” former Obama administration advisor Steven Rattner told MSNBC that Gruber was in fact “the guru” in putting together the Affordable Care Act.
In running defense for Obama, the Old Gray Lady claimed that Gruber’s role in Obamacare was “limited” and that he was not a “major architect of the health reform law,” dismissing assertions that “the reform law was hatched in secrecy and foisted on the public by trickery.”
This was swiftly contradicted by Steven Rattner, a former Obama administration adviser, who told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that Gruber was “the guru on health care” and that he “was certainly viewed as an important figure in helping to put Obamacare together.”
“I think if you go back and look at the Washington Post or the New York Times or anything from that period, you will find Jonathan Gruber’s name all over it, as both someone who’s the leading expert on health care quoted by everybody, and as someone who the White House was using,” added Rattner.
