Obamacare architect insists Americans just ‘don’t understand’ how much law has done for them

The Blaze:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber, who claimed in 2013 that the “stupidity of the American voter” helped the law to pass, now says the American people just don’t understand what the Affordable Care Act has done for them.

 

“There’s been a lot of misinformation,” Gruber told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Wednesday night, saying that everyone agrees Obamacare has increased the number of Americans who now have health insurance.

 

“But if you ask Americans what Obamacare has done to insurance coverage, almost as many claim it has declined as gone up. I think that’s the prime example of misinformation that’s been spread,” Gruber continued. “I think Americans just don’t understand what this law has done for them.”

 

Carlson pressed Gruber on his comments, asking if he really thinks Americans are “that dumb” that they don’t know about their own health insurance. But Gruber insisted that he never said anything of the kind but rather was making the point that those who neither benefited from nor have been hurt by Obamacare have “heard a lot of misinformation” about what the law actually does.

 

Gruber conceded that the people who have been most disadvantaged by Obamacare are the top 2 percent and young, healthy adults, who now pay more for their health insurance in order help pay for coverage for individuals who can’t afford it.
