(Forbes) Gruber admit(s) ObamaCare is and has always been one giant deception from beginning to end, and its architects achieved by deception what they could not have achieved honestly.

You can’t do it, politically. You just literally cannot do it…
This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] 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. [If] you made explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed.
