Gateway Pundit has video and text in which Jonathan Gruber, MIT economist and major architect of Obamacare admits the ACA was written to obfuscate its true purpose, to con the American people.
This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scores the mandate as taxes the bill dies. So it’s written to do that… If you get a law that says healthy people are going to pay and sick people would get money, it would not have passed.The bold phrases in the above quoted paragraphs are in Gateway Pundit's original, not added by COTTonLINE. As our readers know, we very rarely bold for emphasis. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
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 very very critical to get the thing to pass. And, you know, it’s the second best argument. I wish Mark was right we could make this transparent but I would rather have this law than not.
The Daily Caller has a brief story on the same Gruber panel presentation.
