Yet another video shows ObamaCare architect disparaging voter intelligence Yet another video has surfaced of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber crediting the passage of the health care bill in part to American voters" lack of intelligence. The Daily Caller posted the third video Wednesday of the MIT professor, this time speaking at the University of Rhode Island in 2012. Gruber was discussing the law's so-called "Cadillac tax," which he said was helped along by "hero" then-Sen. John Kerry. The "Cadillac tax" mandates that insurance companies be taxed rather than policy holders. He said that taxing individuals would have been "politically impossible," but taxing the companies worked because Americans didn't understand the difference. "So basically it's the same thing," he said. We just tax the insurance companies, they pass on higher prices that offsets the tax break we get, it ends up being the same thing. It's a very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter. The new video follows a second tape played on Fox News' "The Kelly File" Tuesday that showed Gruber speaking on a similar topic at an October 2013 event at Washington University in St. Louis. Referring to the "Cadillac tax," he said: "They proposed it and that passed, because the American people are too stupid to understand the difference." This was similar to remarks he made at a separate event around the same time in 2013. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, traveling with President Obama in Burma, said he disagrees with Gruber's comments. Earnest claimed the bill was written in a transparent way and that it's Republicans who aren't transparent about how they would replace it.
