Jordan on Obamacare transparency: 'This is intentional deception and it’s nothing new'

During his questioning period in today's Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana) made the following comments about MIT professor Dr. Jonathan Gruber and the 2010 health care law:

"This is intentional deception, and it's nothing new: If you like your plan you can keep your plan; if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor; premiums are gonna go down; premiums are gonna go down $2,500 on average; the website will work; the website's secure. … And then we get to Mr. Gruber. Mr. Gruber testified before Congress about Obamacare and didn't disclose that he was being paid by the Obama administration. That's deception at it's highest form. And then of course we have the videos, the now famous videos, where Mr. Gruber used taxpayer dollars to deceive taxpayers, and then when Obamacare became law he made fun of them and insulted them."
