does anyone ever get in any trouble after these interrogations??? I dont understand this

They sound so offended about his personal opinion I don't think Congress is genuinely interested in the data.

boy can he not answer questions

*Gruber could have saved everyone five minutes by just answering "Yes." to "Are you stupid?".*

Yes taxes were imposed most heavily on middle class tax payers.......perfect Mr..Issa

*If you look back at all the Congressional hearings and Oversight committees* and realize maybe 1% of the issues get any resolution then why have these? What good does it do? For example over 20 years ago Government Reform CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND VACCINE DEVELOPMENT--PRESERVING THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROCESS One paragraph "Gee, this is all going to be public eventually, it's going to be out there. Her employer had grants of $75,000 from American Home Products for rotavirus, $404,000 from NIAID, a number of grants for rotavirus, NIH, $355,000 for rotavirus, $55,560 fee from Merck for rotavirus vaccine, Wyeth Lederle, $10,420 fee for rotavirus, and $5,400 for Norwalk virus vaccine. Come on!...." Was there reform? No! Now its the same with Dr Fauci and Pfizer. Nothing gets fixed, it's all about money, greed and power. If we only had a President that fixed things oh, yeah I forgot, they just get rid of the best ones, can't do your job in Washington and survive!

You can't ask questions of a lier because all you will ever get is lies they just tell one to cover another a vicious cycle

If you've ever gone to the mechanic or the doctor, you recognize that we have to have a certain amount of trust in other people so that we don't spend our entire lives trying to learn everything from scratch. And that makes our society possible. To take advantage of that necessary trust, and to mistakenly think that it's because you're smarter than everyone else, is something only a delusional piece of shit would do. A delusional piece of shit who would break down the whole basis of modern society. And that my friends, is what is sitting there answering those questions.

That's the problem in our great country, these politicians and contractors that lie, steal and cheat suffer no consequences. The problems just die out and go away!!! Totally wrong!!!!

HOW about no conjecture allowed only the truthful facts or go to jail. Enough is ENOUGH !!!

Everything odd to be questioned and re-examined.

''I'm sorry, your question was so long I forgot the first part of it

Ive worked for 3 Fortune 500s (one being a fortune 100) over the past decade and health care has only gotten considerably worse. It’s insanity

The Affordable Care Act is a sham.

I see a whole bunch of wealthy politicians . WEALTHY CIVIL SERVANTS !!!!! Time for a revolution. Long live the western world.

So in the U.S. they have aggressive hearings about cost shifting and the cost models of ACA (which admittedly is hardly better than the former mess). - European countries after WW2 ALL adopted (or expanded existing) healthcare systems leaning heavily in the direction of non-profit, for public welfare - and of course for everyone. (Even the nations of the Warsaw pact which were poorer had public healthcare for everyone). Even nations that just stopped being mortal enemies (Germany, France, UK for instance) agreed on one thing: healthcare is on principle a terrible fit for the free market (complete imbalance of power between consumers and providers, natural monopolies) AND the usual incentives in a capitalistic system are toxic in the area of healthcare and produce inefficiency - and a hassle for the patients. Fast forward 70 years: per capita healthcare expenditures in those wealthy nations in USD: starting with 4,200 to 6,000, with some outliers * - the U.S. has 9,200 (World Bank 2014). * USD 3,900 for the UK but their main player the NHS got their already lean budget cut over 10 years by the conservative Tories - the system is clearyl underfunded now - but I think with 50 % of the U.S. per capita expenditures it would work like a charm. And Norway and Switzerland have costs like the U.S. (but with high living costs which of course mean also higher wages - a major factor for healthcare costs. That said: they are rich nations with excellent healthcare and everyone has it. Especially the Swiss have a reputation of paying their healthcare staff, incl. nurses, therapists very well, for that reason they attract a lot of staff from Germany). On top of that most of these nations have an older population on average (so the U.S. should beat them on demographics). AND their life expectancy and infant mortality is lower. (Child mortality is an indicator of how the system works for low income people.) P.S.: I am lucky enough to live in one of those wealthy nations. Healthcare insurance is just not an issue. No one even thinks about it. Everyone has it, when you get sick or need an appointment you expect - and get - treatment or a date. Same as everyone else - meaning if they want to cut that, the whole country would get the pitchforks. No "divide and conquer" between those with good and not so good policies, the old or young, those who work full or part time. (Also provisions for people that have no job, for instance stay at home parents, people who take a sabbatical, etc.) The insurance agency (or agencies) is public and non-profit - so they have no incentive to deny treatment. Their role is to facilitate the functioning of the whole system, collect the money and take care of the payments to those who deliver the services. They negoatiate: with non-profits (almost all hospitals) and with for-profit actors (doctors are like small entrepreneurs, the 70 - 80 % that have a public contract have many regulations and a negotiated price list. The powerful multinationals - the pharmaindustry - have an equally powerful counterpart to deal with. The patients do not get an invoice. You pay your mandatory affordable contribution (wage deduction, it is matched by the employer). It is affordable (as % of the wage). it covers dependent family members and it covers everything (even very costly procedures). No one cares about pre existing conditions or current illnesses. It does not matter. And these insurance costs are known in advance - no costs when you need treatment, no unpleasant financial surprises when you already have a health problem.

Darrell Issa! Ain't he the car thief??

They lied, we know it!

this pisses me off!

I’ve really begun to see a pattern with representatives and senators asking people questions. They, more often than not, ask a question that incriminates the person they’re asking, and then that person begins the answer by defending themselves and then the representative or senator cuts them off. I’m not saying everyone is innocent in these things, I’m saying that congress’s push to bring justice ends up having a paradoxical effect.

after talking, talking talking i was waiting for him to say 'sorry,can you repeat the question'

Looking back, why didn't they charge him with fraud? They had his statements.

His model is wrong, I have maintained two insurances for the last two years, and now pay more than I use too significantly.

It’s lit love this beat

Smackdown!

"In criminology, state crime is activity or failures to act that break the state's own criminal law or public international law. For these purposes, Ross (2000b) defines a "state" as the elected and appointed officials, the bureaucracy, and the institutions, bodies and organisations comprising the apparatus of the government. Initially, the state was the agency of deterrence, using the threat of punishment as a utilitarian tool to shape the behaviour of its citizens. Then, it became the mediator, interpreting society's wishes for conflict resolution. Theorists then identified the state as the "victim" in victimless crimes. Now, theorists are examining the role of the state as one of the possible perpetrators of crime (Ross, 2000b) whether directly or in the context of state-corporate crime." -Wikipedia

How is microphone use regulated (if at all) during these kinds of exchanges? If either person speaks do they both have their audio received or does either party's speaking over one another play on both? I don't know the context of this brief clip, but either Gruber has nothing else to say once the Chair starts speaking or his mic is cut off abruptly after each statement by the Chair, it seems...

I think Congressman Issa asked a rhetorical question --- asking a Democrat is he or she is stupid? Does that question really need to be answered?

I will NOT insult Forest Gump, Gump got the Metal of Honor for Bravery! Guber the snot gobbler gets a duuuncce hat!

"Are you stupid?" NO!! That is my brother, I'm CRAZY. LOL! I"m Larry and this is my brother Darrel and this is my other brother Darrel."

how about more uproar for bank bailouts than for something like this.

Is everyone in Washington rude?

"People like me are paying more." People like you and me can afford to pay more. Average Americans pay less.

Cool Beat!

God Damn you Mr. Gruber !

Remember always, Obamacare passed both Houses of Congress with not one Republican vote FOR it.

how do you answer, "are you stupid", correctly assuming you are in fact stupid?

Why isn't Gruber fired already

Isaac your response to his responses should be that was not the question. Answer the question. I asked the ... answer that question not the question you want to answer or I will hold you in contempt of congress. DO IT!

Wait a minute, when do the prank phone calls start?

Where is issa at now? I'll have to look that up.

He should have paid back the 4 million as it was a disaster

KEK! ACA is still around.

2 great quotes! Forrest gump "Are you stupid" & "didn't in reality" Haha

I paid way too much under that plan.

So funny with the dems. Only they can say one thing to the public and the opposite thing in private, and still say with full confidence, that their work was 100% integer.

Coming from FBE (React). ... What the heck?

Medical costs only went up......none went down......only people that live off the govt handouts got a deal. Why do they always tell you how transparent they are, Democrats so very sad.

Patient, heal thyself.

Stupid is stupid does. Like playing with rain

Gruber? Why did you say what everyone in congress was thinking? Why did you let the American people know how we feel about them? You can lie to the people, you just can not tell them and quit outing us in congress.

YES. You are !

Me: Sibling, don’t come in my room. Ever. Sibling: *Goes in my room anyways and messes it up making me fix it* Me: 0:32

tangible?

Grinders models corrupt and a disaster at best

Bro this was 8 years ago

Eiza you should be investigated did you do some crooked things when you're in Escondido Maybe I'm Wrong

C Span is the only real news

haahaahhahaahahha i lost it wthin 50 secs

How did I end up here

Just let him be stupid to get your answer.

The premiums are indeed rising. Don't people read newspapers?

Why in the world do they call in experts when the Rep already knows the truth of the matter, irrespective of what the model shows? Certainly, call for a second opinion. But this time do it in good faith.

You think health care was expensive before Obamadon'tcare? WAIT TIL IT'S FREE!

Anyone here from FBE

And your pay? Your finance?

Darrell Issa is badgering the witness, your honor!:)

I used to pay $100 or $150 now I pay $250 for insurance. I don't know why.

I love this GUY.

Thank you, Mr. Issa. You sir, ARE AWESOME IN NAILING THIS LIAR AND PROVING THE DECEPTION.

No wonder Issa loves Ball Park Franks.....

Were going to dismantle ga. Under martial law . Everybodys ass will be audited since they want to harrass people

My wife was paying 165 a month now she gets to pay 520. Thanks OBUMA

You can't bullshit Darrell...

I'm sad Darrell Issa represents my state.

If Trump has absolute legal freedom of speech to threaten to kill or imprison or hurt judges and police officers and politicians then so does every single other person who was born without their prior consent, no matter if some judge or jury or court labels them a "criminal" or a "convicted criminal" or a prisoner. ALL prisoners are prisoners of war. Sorry, judges, cops, etc the well-being and freedom -- freedom from suffering in prison -- of animal rights activists and climate warriors and worker unions is infinitely more important than the law or nationalism. Judges and prosecutors and lawyers will have NOTHING to whine or complain about when EVERYBODY ELSE takes the law into their own hands and puts THEIR freedom and what THEY think is FAIR above what some cop or judge says "the law" is. @tareewoods2434

my uncle wrote forrest gump forrest gump is not stupid stupid is as stupid does normal people

2009-2010? This is 2019 soon to b 2020? My point is!

Honoured WIFE ... 24 HEUERS HOTEL AVOCAT

Absolutely BRILLIANT! Glad he's running again!

Bent !! Lock him up

Issa has criminal record too.

Issa is a very smart guy. And can anyone tell me who the good-looking girl behind him is? Is that his daughter?

Well......

The film is based on the 1986 novel by Winston Groom. Both center on the character of Forrest Gump. However, the film primarily focuses on the first eleven chapters of the novel.

Gruber light on his loafers?

this man lost reelection.

In reality costs went way up

But you can’t do an independent analysis, is what he basically said. Sounds like a cover up

Excellent question Mr. Issa

Poindexter is still with us...

RAin on meee

Mr. Gruber, Ph.D? What am I missing here?

If he didn't know what he was saying then WE are the ones who are stupid since WE paid him and MIT over 4 million for his "intelligence"

KAG 2020 !!

I know he says "gruber" but all I hear is "MacGruber"

Politicians don't pay taxes. WE pay them with tax money. Whatever taxes they think they are paying is delusional.

Gunny Hiway has got it EXACTLY RIGHT!!! Semper Fi from TX :)

just be normal

Darrell Issa is as dirty as they come - check his political background and you will be amazed at the corrupt things he has done and the horrible pain he has inflicted on people to please his ego.
