The media really trots out some of the worst possible people to make their case. Like Jonathan Gruber, the guy even leftists didn't want to hear from anymore after multiple videos surfaced of the ObamaCare architect boasting about the stupidity of American voters.
MIT economics professor and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber said that any healthcare replacement law the GOP has in store is a “scam.”
Speaking of scams...
Referring to the so-called "Cadillac tax" on high-end health plans, he said: "They proposed it and that passed, because the American people are too stupid to understand the difference."
Gruber specifically was referring to the way the "Cadillac tax" was designed -- he touted their plan to, instead of taxing policy holders, tax the insurance companies that offered them. He suggested that taxing individuals would have been politically unpalatable, but taxing the companies worked because Americans didn't understand the difference.
This is similar to remarks he made at a separate event around the same time in 2013. In a clip of that event, Gruber said the "lack of transparency" in the way the law was crafted was critical. "Basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass," he said.
So we have the scammer behind ObamaCare accusing Republicans of a scam for wanting to get rid of it.
