I said the claims about his statements weren't true...
His remarks were just highlighting his frustration with how legislation is formed. The CBO sets standards that must be met and so law has to be twisted to fit the standards so it sounds good. Everybody does it and there's nothing unique in the ACA in this regard.
What he said that simply isn't true are the remarks that elements of the bill weren't discussed in a transparent manner, hell there was probably more open and bi-partisan debate on the ACA than any bill in history.
It's being "reported" that his remarks show the people were duped. If that's true than pretty much all laws could be shown to be manipulative.
