ObamaCare Creator Making Comic Book to Sell the Legislation
The MIT economist behind much of the concepts involved in ObamaCare is making a comic book to try to get Americans to like his idea. The Boston Herald reported Tuesday (h/t Jules Crittenden): Jonathan Gruber, a nationally recognized health economist who devised the economic underpinnings of Obamacare (Gruber hates the term), said his three comic-loving kids encouraged him to use the hip format of the graphic novel — basically an expensive comic published in book form — to tell the story of the complicated plan to 300 million Americans. “I’m going to use the facts to tell the story,” Gruber, 45, told the Pulse yesterday. “I’m the narrator guiding the reader through the law. It’ll have lots of pictures and text.” Hill and Wang, a division of publishing powerhouse Farrar, Straus and Giroux, plans to release Gruber’s book, tentatively titled “Health Care Reform: What It Is, Why It’s Necessary, How it Works” this fall. Sadly, if it works to propagandize the masses and change the public's view of this disaster, the joke will be on us. Stay tuned. The accompanying image was created by the Boston Herald.
