  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, ``Lack of transparency is a huge political 
advantage. Call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever.'' 
That was ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber speaking last year at the 
University of Pennsylvania.
  The broken ObamaCare promises are now legendary: ``If you like your 
health plan, you can keep it; if you like your doctor, you can keep 
them. The law will save American families money.''
  Don't tell that to the 16th District business owners like Nelson 
Sensenig and Ron Fritz, who both recently contacted me to talk about 
their struggle to continue affording coverage for their employees. Both 
of them used to cover 100 percent of their employees' coverage. Now 
they can't afford to do so.
  Gruber, the MIT professor consultant, can jet around the country 
bragging about pulling one over on the American people--again, his 
quote: ``The stupidity of the American voters.'' What liberal 
arrogance.
  What he and the President did with ObamaCare has done tremendous harm 
to Americans struggling to provide for themselves and their families. 
That is why we must continue to fight for real health care reform.
