ObamaCare’s architects reap windfall as Washington lobbyists (newly relevant)
The Hill ^ | 25 August 2014 (relevant now) | Megan R. Wilson

ObamaCare has become big business for an elite network of Washington lobbyists and consultants who helped shape the law from the inside.

More than 30 former administration officials, lawmakers and congressional staffers who worked on the healthcare law have set up shop on K Street since 2010.

In light of Gruber-gate, this 2013 article should be reprised. It's not just Gruber who is making money off of Obamacare.

Since they wrote Obamacare, they know where the loopholes in the language are (perhaps put there intentionally) and can now sell their services to clients looking to get around some of the requirements of Obamacare.

Sweet work if you can get it! Write the laws and then 'consult' with people how to get around the laws.

I have been kidding when I said that when they began working on Obamacare, that they set up a computer and asked everyone to add their ideas.

Now we know they had an actual address.

With his consulting fees, maybe Gruber will be able to afford 0’Care.

The Democratic firm banks about $3 million in revenue per year, records show, but is on pace for growth in 2013, earning $1.8 million through the first half of the year.

"Pfft. Amateurs!"

Never forget Bart Stupak who was the final holdout to pass Obamacare in the house. He landed himself a prized partnership with the premier DC lobbying firm of Venable LLP. Pay special attention to his areas of practice and industries.

Not a single Republican senator or Congressman voted in favor of that monstrosity called Obamacare. It must be make perfectly clear that democrat Phd com man Gruber, called stupid not all the American voters, but just the democrat voters that put the “Liar in Chief” in the White House, in spite of his Marxist anti-American back ground, and all the Democrats legislators co-conspirators with the president and the MSM in the greatest deception against the American people in the history of the United States.

According to Obama, the MTI professor, a frequent visitor to the White House, was just an adviser. For his “invaluable advise and services” to the Obama administration professor Gruber received over 5.9 million dollars... Stupidity to the to nth power.

The tea party is always looking for praise. We all knew socialized medicine of any kind was a massive transfer of wealth and it would ruin our world leading healthcare system. We did not need anyone to tell us anything.
