.@ron_fournier OK Gruber's idiotic 53sec fair game. I look forward to column listing consistently wrong ACA critiques by GOP officials/wonks

@ron_fournier@haroldpollack Calling something a mandatory fee vs. a tax moved how many voters? -
@ijbailey@ron_fournier@haroldpollack Moving from fee to tax changes CBO score & total cost of ACA. That would move voters -
@awsiegel@ron_fournier@haroldpollack And what is the difference between a mandatory fee and a tax, in the real world? -
@ijbailey@ron_fournier@haroldpollack fees hide real cost of this policy whereas tax makes it more clear. It's an obfuscation to deceive -
@awsiegel@ron_fournier@haroldpollack Voters were told they would have to pay if they didn't buy insurance. How is that hiding anything? -
@ijbailey@ron_fournier@haroldpollack Key is it changed CBO score. ACA sold on being cost neutral. It's not and voters clearly lied to. -
@awsiegel@ron_fournier@haroldpollack CBO still says it is not only cost neutral, but that it is lowering the deficit. How is that a lie? -
@ijbailey@ron_fournier@haroldpollack CBO says that cost is declining slightly but still anticipates cost of $1.4Tpic.twitter.com/6eIDqYYnyo

@ron_fournier You don't think someone at the Whitehouse uttered "What a f***ing idiot!" upon hearing Gruber's remarks?@haroldpollack -
I don't think that. I think what Gruber said is precisley what he said to the WH and they agreed. @jaschrein
@ron_fournier@haroldpollack -
@CindyCoops No question they agree. I just don't think they want him saying it out loud.
