First, lets define "bait and switch" "FRAUD IS A FEDERAL CRIME - A FELONY:"
- ... under the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the selling ploy of a particular establishment is liable of facing legal action against bait and switch fraud if:
- The advertised product is not shown or sold in agreement with the offer's precise terms
- The advertised product displayed is defective or impractical for the purposed implied in the advertisement.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
- The advertised product is strongly criticized or lied about- either regarding the product's guarantee, credit terms, production value, service and repair availability, etc- in hopes of "upselling" to another "better" product. Full IBA article here.
"In a recent forum on healthcare and economics hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, Jonathan Gruber made the following statement about ObamaCare:
This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in -- you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed… Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass… Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.

NYT On Gruber: Everybody Lies To Get Legislation Passed
NRO: Calling Me Stupid ... "Arrogance and condescension have too often characterized the attitudes of the current administration and their proponents. But the fact is, the American public is not stupid when it comes to Obamacare, and they are not deceived. Understanding this clunker and not liking it is precisely why this law has never been popular."
..."My patient with a thyroid problem couldn’t afford the necessary ultrasound and antibody tests to better understand her condition before Obamacare, and she can’t afford them now, either, because of her large deductible."
Ron Fournier; Obamacare's Foundation of Lies ... "I strongly support bipartisan efforts to expand the availability of health coverage to the working poor, and bending the cost curve that threatens federal budgets for years to come. While I think President Obama and congressional Democrats helped contribute to the 2009 standoff over what became the Affordable Care Act, I've openly rooted for Obamacare's success. I've denounced the knee-jerk opposition from the GOP, a party that once embraced key elements of Obamacare. My ideology is amorphous; I am not "on the right."
"All of that, and yet: Gruber's remarks struck a nerve with me."
Bad Month for Obamacare ..."With Republicans taking control of the Senate and expanding their majority in the House, we can expect an onslaught of bills to repeal the law or cut out important parts of it. While the presidential veto will likely prevent full repeal, the law’s supporters can expect to spend the next two years fighting a defensive war."
Who are you calling “stupid?”... "The people tried desperately to make their anti-Obamacare wishes known, but the Democratic members of Congress who were in the majority at the time refused to listen. Their leaders whipped them into line, and although a few were allowed to vote against, Pelosi and Reid made sure there wouldn’t be enough of them voting “nay” to actually derail the bill."
