Jonathan Gruber, the MIT economist was central to the adoption of Romneycare in Massachusetts is amazed at the entire Republican circus over the implementation of the Obamacare. "In my experience," he said, "it is totally unprecedented to keep challenging a law that's already been passed. The Republicans know that, once this takes place, they're in big trouble because it's going to work. What I don't get is these stupid GOP governors who are turning down the Medicaid expansion," he said. "This is preposterously stupid. First of all, your low-income people get health-insurance, and you get billions and billions of dollars of stimulus in health-care spending. There is no basis for turning this down except to put your political agenda ahead of the needs of your state's citizens. This is one of the criminal failures of our political system. It is an enormous failure."
