Former FTC Commissioner: Obamacare Website Violates Federal Regulations
2013-11-18
If the Obamacare website was a private business, it would be "taken to the shed and horsewhipped" for many Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau violations, says former FTC Commissioner Orson Swindle.

The former commissioner, who headed the FTC from 1997 to 2005, told National Review Online, that the FTC requires that companies provide every possible bit of information upfront about a purchase, and HealthCare.gov doesn't do that.

"Businessmen would lose their businesses, salesmen would lose their licenses -- that's the kind of thing we are talking about here," Swindle said. "The bottom line is that no private entity would be allowed to get away with what the Obama administration is trying to get away with."

#4  Heh...is it too much to comment that the former head of the FTC is named Swindle? Maybe "Obamad" will become synonymous with "Borked"

Agreed, but only if one enjoys the rule of law, which we no longer appear to have.
