In this case, I am thinking of the Truth in Advertising laws. What they are proposing is TAXPAYER-FUNDED HEALTHCARE, period. Unfortunately, because of the taxpayer-funded school-system, the butt-clingers in the media, and apathetic parents, a good many people will be fooled by this newspeak.

She's not the brightest bulb in the drawer.

"just what federal funds do you think the feds are going to hold hostage for opting in?" ala seat belt and m'cycle helmet laws tied to state road funds. Don't have a helmet bill? You have to redirect some of your highway funds to "safety" adverts and programs, and not use them for road maintenance or building. It's punishment, and a way for the feds to get their way using funds as the hostage. This is the precedent of Congress. My friend's guess for what federal funds will be held hostage? Medicaid. Mine? Medicaid was also my first thought, but then that would thwart their own mantra to "insure everyone", wouldn't it? At least if there was a media quick enough to pick up on it, and wasn't on the O'prozac. So the question would be, will the feds demand they divert some of their Medicaid funds into "education" about public option health care, instead of devoting it to actual Medicaid services as "punishment" for not opting in? Inquiring minds want to know....

I'll be more than happy to give you an excellent reason to test Your Coverage for Major Medical. I have 28 + years of training and experience at changing attitudes and dealing with petty tyrants, murderers, thieves and terrorists. Some of You meet that specification or several. I'd be happy to explain it to You. I'm not talking Town Hall Tea Party. Tea Parties failed to get your attention. Now lets talk Tort Reform and looking into Waste Fraud and Abuse of Medicare before You turn it all into a Billion Dollar and change train wreck. Then fully fund the VA and BIA Indian Health Services next as I have a horse in all of those races. (No Pun Intended.) And by the way, My Salary was set into Law by You so send Your Punk Pay Czar out to collect litter on the Capitol Mall. The last time I visited it looked like it needed some attention.
