I see Gruber differently. If he really thought we were too stupid to understand the ACA, then he wouldn't tried to hide it. I think what he really means is that Americans are too stupid to understand that Obamacare is for our own good.

He even admits if Americans knew about the reality of the law, it would not have passed. That doesn't sound like he thinks we are inherently stupid . . . just stupid enough to not know what is good for us.

" I think what he really means is that Americans are too stupid to understand that Obamacare is for our own good."

I guess that's one way to put it. But IMO all you need to do is listen to his plain words….
“The American voters are too stupid the understand the difference.”
or
"...call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever…"

Now consider just how much support this bill got form GOP voters or representatives. The "voters" he's talking about are Democrats.
