If someone can find the Nov. 2009 Ezra Klein piece or interview in which Jonathan Gruber says “What we know for sure is that [Obamacare] will lower the cost of buying non-group health insurance,” please let me know.

Trying out his 2028 lines against his likely 2028 opponent (he hopes). I like Shapiro, in part because he respects Trump supporters. I can see him expanding this ‘Vance-worse-than-Trump’ spiel into a larger criique that spares Trump but argues Vance doesn’t have what Trump has. https://t.co/V61cjsF42S

Re: Can Congress give away its powers? Well, it’s a lot less justifiable to delegate power to an unelected old-school “independent” agency of experts than to the elected president or to a “unitary” agency controlled by tha president. https://t.co/FgfDyPZKBN

I did overstate here my clairvoyance back in 2009. If I remember right, I said I thought Obamacare was going to be a big mess but I’d still vote for it. I didn’t realize then that part of the mess would specifically be the lousiness of the exchange risk pool and soaring premiums.
