Racheteering, Intimidation, Criminal, Organization. R.I.C.O. is the offense of threatening someone to pay extortion for "protection" [such as it is] from the very same group you're forced to pay off.

So my question is if Hillary's "RomneyCare" plan is found to be in violation of the R.I.C.O. statute, would it be ruled as illegal by a judge and could Hillary along with her insurance industry pimps be tried both in criminal and civil law?

Most likely it'll be libertarians to push this point of law and be the first to challenge her plan in court, but whoever here has a legal background is free to answer this.
