(Via Fox News)  The Daily Caller’s Patrick Howley reported Sunday that Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber had said at the University of Pennsylvania’s 24th Annual Health Economics Conference that it was a good thing that Americans never realized what was in the Affordable Care Act, because “the stupidity of the American voter” would have otherwise killed the law.
But for unexplained reasons, the University of Pennsylvania has pulled its video of the event, which took place in October of 2013. ”This video has been removed by the user,” a message now reads. “Sorry about that.” The video is still embedded on the conference page, but playing the video gives a similar error message.
One person who was angry to hear of the apparent cover-up was Bloomberg columnist Megan McArdle. “This is pretty shocking behavior by my alma mater,” she tweeted, “Why would @Penn pull down a public video that has political implications?” (link)
UPDATE #2 :  Mark Levin picked up on the removal, and discussed on his radio broadcast.  Like Magic, presto, links mysteriously show up and start to work again – Here’s the FULL AHEC Panel just not on the U of PA website.  Go figure…. looks like someone got caught playing “hide the evidence“.
If you had any doubts about the motives behind the people who constructed Obamacare you can put those doubts away, forever. In this video MIT professor, and ObamaCare architect Johnathan Gruber, specifically states that ObamaCare was constructed to fool the American electorate.
It was written to hide the “mandate” as a tax because if they allowed congressional debate as a tax, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) result, outlining the cost, would have killed it. Avoiding transparency was a specific and intentional goal, not a mistake – a goal, because if the truth came out “the stupidity of the American voter” would have killed the law. This video alone should be enough to destroy any support:

… “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’s written to do that.

In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed… 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 for the thing to pass… Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”
