Many of us have noticed that health-care reform is not going the way that so many politicians had promised it would. Firedoglake tells us:
"For almost the entirety of the health care debate, the Obama Administration has relied on economist Jonathan Gruber to make the public case for its idea of reform - even the most unpopular parts. But as Firedoglake revealed on Friday, the Obama Administration has failed to disclose that it paid the same economist more than $780,000.
"This is a huge ethical violation that undermines the entirety of health care reform."
Firedoglake has an online petition that asks the White House to make the disclosure.
