This Gruber thing is much, much bigger than needing to lie to "stupid American voters". Under Natural Law, which our Founders believed in and upon which they wrote the Declaration of Independence and set up the Federal Government under the Constitution, the People are the sovereign. The government are servants to the People.
What Gruber/Obama/the Democrat Party have done is subversion, high crimes and misdemeanors of the highest order. They're lying, scamming and plotting to overturn the political order to place themselves permanently on top as ruling class, an oligarchy, to replace the constitution.
As Mark Levin, this is the type of actions that spawn revolts. And this is the urgency and desperation of our situation that the blind moles and post turtles of the elected GOP just simply do not understand. They think that we're in just another cycle of "politics as usual", instead we have lawless revolutionary President conducting a self-coup against the lawful order.
You are quite right to emphasize the sinister nature of this. If we connect the dots with the IRS scandal by which our government sought to muzzle the free political speech of conservatives we see a very threatening pattern emerging.
We might also add the obvious parallels with global warming and the specious or at least dubious science advanced to justify curtailing basic property rights of Americans.
In case after case basic constitutional procedures have been aborted and executive tyranny substituted. Increasingly, Obama does not even seek a fig leaf to justify his power grabs.
The whole administration should be seen as Nixon was painted in the Watergate affair, a cabal in charge of the nation governing against the nation but in Obama's case doing so to subvert the nation. Nixon at least was a patriot but Obama despises everything about the American experiment.
