Reason.com Thursday night is reporting on a YouTube find by Ryan Radia at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, “a libertarian think tank which has participated in the legal challenge to the IRS rule allowing subsidies in federal exchanges.”
The video shows Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of Obamacare, saying “exactly what challengers to the administration’s implementation of the law have been arguing — that if a state chooses not to establish its own exchange, then residents of those states will not be able to access Obamacare’s health insurance tax credits.”

This video is particularly embarrassingly for the pundits/reporters that claimed it was just a typo/drafting error: http://t.co/6060bjYxSZ

In just a year, Gruber went from honest reading of law to calling same "nutty," "stupid," and "desperate." pic.twitter.com/3RfSBlCnbr
