testifying today, right? he will be joined by the administrators of the medicare services. she does not want to be seated next to mr. gruber. lawmakers are going to put them together and dig down on some of those comments he made about the lack of transparency as it relates to laying out obamacare. the stupidity of the american voters and he believed many law makers did not know what was in balk care or understand the financing of it, then you will have tavenner at a time when many democrats are trying to flee from jonathon gruber s comments you will have her trying to get away from him and try to put some distance. but they will be right next to each other and the questioning will begin in 30 minutes. martha: there are so many layers
administration is still going to have to own up as i ve said before, i wasn t worried about the website. that was great fodder. when we have actual patients, that s when the weight of balk care comes to fruition for me. we have two national reporters here. i wonder if either of you this week we just played some clips of thing this week. we have all of the ads being run against balm kairs. listening to republicans in washington, d.c., did either of you pick up on any change in the republican thinking on this, hey, we have to account for 7 million plus 3 million, this can t just be repeal, repeal, repeal. does this change the politics for them at all? immediately going into november they still have to appeal to the base, do the votes, say obamacare is going to really hurt people. but i think privately behind the
real problems with the legislation. martha: when they mitt you personal hi it has a different meaning. let s play this sound bite from marco rubio who signed up as well. if everyone else is supposed to go on balk care why shouldn t members of congress. i didn t vote for the law, i wasn t here when it passed. but i don t think i can go back to florida and tell them i have an insurance plan they don t have. last week week harry reid excepted his staff from obama care. the biggest split in america is that it s not right, left or republicans and democrats so as much as it is the ruling elites versus everybody else. a story like this throws the ruling elites into the same pot with everybody else and you will
