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.

as is often the case, the only one making claims about his statements that aren't true seems to be you ...most seem content with his "actual" statement...you know....what he "actually" said....which was very clear and revealing and which I don't think you've referenced directly and perhaps not even read yet.......that you "believe" or have divined that he intended to suggest or mean something completely different than what he is actually on record and quoted as saying is not unusual or surprising
