Health Reform
Sen. Chris Dodd (CNBC): Health reform “is hanging on by a thread.”
Daily Kos: He Who Pays The Piper: Jonathan Gruber, who has been the biggest proponent of the [health insurance] excise tax… did not disclose that he was paid by the HHS to the tune of $297,600 in his recent and ongoing contract to provide technical assistance for evaluation options for national healthcare reform.
Apparently Dodd thinks “strangling our economy” is less desirable than bleeding it to death.
Gruber is getting a lot of attention for this. He would be a lot more believable if he came out forcefully and said what he doesn’t like aout the bills before Congress.
At least then we would all know that he is not just a shill for the White House.
a) I hope Dodd is right.
b) I hope the thread breaks.

If this continues, the Ben Nelson Cornhusker Kickback is going to look like the biggest gaffe in the Dem party in a long time.
