Obamacare Architect: Americans Were Misled So Bill Could Pass

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber admitted to deceiving the American public in order to quickly pass the healthcare bill that has had devastating consequences on businesses and families. In a video released by American Commitment, Gruber explained how the Democrats intentionally avoided transparency in order to get the bill signed into law.

“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 was written to do that. ….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 this thing to pass….I wish we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.

Has your family been affected by Obamacare? Do you believe the bill would have passed if there had been transparency?
