That $2,500 annual healthcare savings that Obama PROMISED was just another BS LIE to get people to approve of Obummercare.
Remember this:
ObamaCare architect: 'Stupidity' of voters helped bill pass
An architect of the federal healthcare law said last year that a "lack of transparency" and the "stupidity of the American voter" helped Congress approve ObamaCare.
In a clip unearthed Sunday, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Jonathan Gruber appears on a panel and discusses how the reform earned enough votes to pass.
He suggested that many lawmakers and voters didn't know what was in the law or how its financing worked, and that this helped it win approval.
"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Gruber said. "And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass."
(Didn't Obama PROMISE that his administration would be the most transparent? ANOTHER LIE!)
Gruber made the comment while discussing how the law was "written in a tortured way" to avoid a bad score from the Congressional Budget Office. He suggested that voters would have rejected ObamaCare if the penalties for going without health insurance were interpreted as taxes, either by budget analysts or the public.
"If CBO scored the [individual] mandate as taxes, the bill dies," Gruber said.
