You had better check your sources again. The only book written by Robert Creamer the politician is Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win, which is an argument for how Democrats need to adjust their positions, written before the 2008 POTUS campaigns even began.
There is literally zero that I can find on that book that involves democratization of wealth or socialism at all. I'll add it to my 'to read' list to see if it was somehow ignored by the dozens of reviewers whose reviews I just read, however.
As to his connection to the ACA, the only arguments to that effect that I can find are Breitbart, TheBlueMarble.com, and ConservativeByte.com, all making the same argument that he wrote the entire thing during his five months in prison in 2005. As those are all EXTREMELY biased right-wing sites well-known for making up 'fake news', to the point that they make Fox actually appear fair and balanced, I can't say that those sites or their articles are anything that a would-be educated conservative voter should be listening to, any more than you would see me quoting DailyKOS and the Huffington Post.
As to Gruber, while I cannot argue what he said, I feel constrained to point out that not only did he write most of RomneyCare, which conservatives lauded as the ideal for health insurance legislation, but his description is honestly an honest, if blunt, description of nearly every law that gets made. The New York Times has an interesting discussion of the controversy
HERE.
Essentially, Congress is obsessed with the government equivalent of financial accounting standards (with the C.B.O. as the rule maker) instead of cost accounting. It structures the laws in ways that might not be very efficient but sound good on the stump. Mr. Gruber was, in an infelicitous way, expressing frustration with that state of affairs.
There is a qualitative difference between writing a law in a less-than-clear manner so that your opponents can't twist it into a career-ender and attempting to force through a law that will affect both the physical and financial welfare of every single American without allowing anyone else to even see what's in it, and that is PRECISELY what the Republicans tried to do. And as people read through it, we're discovering everything from a defunding of Planned Parenthood to MASSIVE tax cuts to the ultra-rich to sabotage of Medicare and Medicaid hidden inside the law they were so desperate to keep everyone from reading. It even fails at its stated goal, since it reduces coverage, cuts the number of people with insurance, and will increase the average cost of health insurance by $1500 per year PER PERSON.
So yeah, I'll take a guy who claimed a law was deliberately written to look better that it turned out over a criminal organization who did their damnedest to push through something with is nothing less than a deliberate attack on the American people, and to ensure that NO ONE found out what was in it until too late.

And on a slightly different topic, you REALLY have to get over your fear of socialism.
Insurance is socialism.
Police are socialism.
The Army, Navy, and Air Force are socialism.
Public education is socialism.
Medicare is socialism.
The Road Commission is socialism.
Stop listening to right-wing fear-mongers and learn what people are actually SAYING when they talk about things 'democratization of wealth'. While there certainly are people who want to turn the US into one huge commune (and even we liberals think they're idiots), a tiny amount of research and a mind open enough to not reject something because of a scary word will show you that the VAST majority of references to that concept simply refer to ensuring that more money remains in circulation and that the economy works better when there is a successful middle-class rather than a weak and shrinking middle class, a large and growing underclass that literally can't afford to feed and house itself without help, and a tiny class of ultra-rich who own 90% of America's wealth.
Seriously, the top 80 Americans own half of the nation's wealth. It's insane. That is the kind of division you find in tin-pot dictatorships. It's a greater divide than existed in Rome at its worst.
And it's the kind of divide that leads to nations ending in fire and blood, and no one here except Colin wants that.
