Tune in here to this Monday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

We’re joined by Phil Kerpen from American Commitment to talk about the origins of Obamacare and the current debate over healthcare subsidies. Kerpen explains how economist Jonathan Gruber, a key architect of the Affordable Care Act, designed the program’s structure and misled the public about its real costs and redistributive goals. He recalls how Gruber once boasted about relying on the “stupidity of the American voter” to push the legislation through, and how Democrats later denied knowing him when his comments resurfaced.

The conversation then shifts to the present-day battle in Congress over extending the extra COVID-era Obamacare subsidies. Kerpen argues that these expanded subsidies have led to waste, fraud, and inflated costs, while Democrats continue to blame Republicans for the system’s failures. Brett and Phil agree that restoring fiscal responsibility and accountability in healthcare policy is critical as the debate moves forward.
