The really sad part about this is this was known, the authors, the people who supported Obamacare, had to know that those promises could never be kept. And I just want to quote a number of quotes by Jonathan Gruber, who was certainly one of the individuals involved in the authoring of Obamacare. PolitiFact called him an architect, an one of many architects of Obamacare. Paid almost $400,000 by the administration to consult. He was talking about the Cadillac tax. And here's this quote. So we just tax the insurance companies. They pass on higher prices, that offsets the tax rate we get, and it ends up being the same thing. (07:16–07:31)
