Economist Jonathan Gruber says state officials spun the results of his health care reform study

"They picked out the most negative aspects of the report to highlight," Gruber said in an interview. "Overall I think health care reform is a great thing for Wisconsin.” A key finding of the analysis -- that 340,000 uninsured people in Wisconsin will gain coverage by 2016 -- was not even mentioned in the press release issued by the state's Office of Free Market Health Care.
