VIDEO: Obamacare Architect Admits Law Was Written To Confuse ‘Stupid’ American Public

Because there is really no explanation for this post, let’s just get to the point.

Key Obamacare Architect, Jonathan Gruber, has admitted that the healthcare overhaul was meant to be confusing so that the American public would essentially fall for it. Here’s the full transcript and video:

“You can’t do it political, you just literally cannot do it. Transparent financing and also transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes the bill dies. Okay? So it’s written to do that,” Gruber said. “In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass. Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”
