Jonathan Gruber Apologizes For 'Glib' And 'Insulting'

Comments About Obamacare

Oversight Committee Tuesday morning, where he apologized for saying that the

I simply made insulting and mean comments that are totally uncalled for in any

Act.

Republicans have seized on recently unearthed videos of Gruber discussing that

work disparagingly, which they've attempted to use to delegitimize the law. The

economist, who was consulted by the White House on the bill in 2009, said in 2013

that the

inability of the American voter to understand the content

of the Affordable

Care Act had helped the bill pass. The Obama administration and numerous

Democrats involved in the law's drafting have awkwardly tried to distance

themselves from the economist.

Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking member on the committee, also chastised Gruber for

“public relations gift” in their campaign to repeal the law.

At one point in the hearing, Issa asked Gruber,

MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, who claimed the authors of

ObamaCare took advantage of what he called the

than previously acknowledged, according to a published report.

The

Wall Street Journal

, citing 20,000 pages of emails sent

by Gruber between January 2009 and March 2010, reported Sunday

that Gruber was frequently consulted by staffers and advisers for

both the White House and the Department of Health and Human

Services (HHS) about the Affordable Care Act. Among the topics

that Gruber discusses in the emails are media interviews,

consultations with lawmakers, and even how to publicly describe his

role.

The emails were released as the Supreme Court prepares to rule

on the legality of federal health insurance exchange subsidies.

The Journal reports that the officials Gruber contacted by e-

mail included Peter Orszag, then the director of the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB); Jason Furman, an economic

adviser to the president; and Ezekiel Emanuel, then a special adviser

for health policy at OMB.

transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the

At the time of the controversy, President Obama referred
