Remy on Obamacare, Grubergate and Dunham

Jonathan Gruber, M.I.T.

As Grubergate continues to unfold, Reason.com’s Remy offers up a new video revealing just how President Obama’s administration discussed selling Obamacare to the American people.

Sure, Remy wasn’t involved in the deliberations but, from his telling, he seems to have a pretty accurate read of how it went down and you will love the video.

Take a look:

As Jonathan Gruber could tell you, the only way to sell "stupid" American voters on Obamacare was to keep us confused about what the law actually does.

LYRICS: Folks would be aghast if this law would be passed but thankfully they are so dumb

Sure our team can't build a website in three years but THEY'RE the ones who are so dumb

So, what's the strategy?

Don't tell em, don't tell 'em You ain't even Don't tell em, don't tell 'em You ain't even, you ain't even gotta tell 'em

It'll bring prices down with it Your healthcare plan will stick around with it Boy, you know I'm from Chicago Maybe they get a clown with it…

Don't let me catch you snoring Making government bigger is never boring Our CBO strategy's named "Bill Cosby" we're looking for an improper scoring

When folks ask what's in you lie through the tooth Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Our ideas are so good we can't tell the truth That's right right right right right

But won't people read it in three years or so? My, my, my, my, my, my Who'd look inside something that many years old?
