Thanks for the definition. Just how do you think it applies here, unless you believe that in a rapidly changing health insurance industry that this was the plan all along? (i.e. "The Conspiracy Theory"). This would mean they had advance knowledge that UHC would eventually make them a lucrative offer. Quite "psychic" of them.

So pickleball, priority membership, and expansion were all "bait and switch" also?
