    ...Orson Swindle, who served as an FTC commissioner from 1997 to 2005, says there are a number of practices that, if HealthCare.gov were a private entity, would result in its being “taken to the shed and horsewhipped” by government regulators….

    President Obama’s oft-repeated falsehood, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” — something the administration knew was untrue — would almost certainly be a textbook case of deceptive advertising, punishable under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits “unfair or deceptive acts or practice in or affecting commerce.” This includes a “representation, omission or practice that is likely to mislead the consumer,”…

    Other examples of potentially deceptive practices include the apparently deliberate decision to withhold information from HealthCare.gov visitors as to the actual prices of the policies offered via the exchanges…

    The FTC requires companies to provide essentially every possible form of information about a given product up front, prior to the point of purchase. Private companies engaged in HealthCare.gov’s kind of behavior would face severe consequences,…

    ...Perhaps the most significant grievance the FTC, the CFPB, and, potentially, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would have with a private corporation following HealthCare.gov’s practices would be its apparent disregard for the security of sensitive personal information shared by users. The website, which has been targeted by a series of attempted cyber attacks, initially contained a serious flaw that left user accounts and personal information vulnerable to hackers....

    The federal government isn’t typically held to such standards; in fact, it’s somewhat frightening the extent to which it is able get away with behavior that would be unlawful in almost any other circumstance.

    And so it goes. If those running Obamacare were in the private sector they would be severally punished and possibly go to jail for fraud. No one can protect us against government, especially a Tyrannical government that just doesn’t follow the laws and the Constitution. When were PROGRESSIVES/DEMOCRATS escalated to being above the law? Who will protect US from THEM?! :omfg:

    Why are you saying that Obamacare violates the Constitution? I disagree with Obamacare, but I don't think it's a violation of the Constitution.

    The federal government is to be on of limited and enumerated powers. There is no power listed in the Constitution that would allow Obamacare. The government can't do anything to provide for the "general welfare." If they could there would have been no need for the Eighteenth Amendment to allow federal alcohol Prohibition. There is no such amendment for Obamacare, and anything that is not listed in the Constitution is consequently prohibited by the Tenth Amendment, part of the Bill of Rights.
