Twentieth Century Fox registering these domain names? — Why is

Strange domain name registrations related to healthcare.

This morning I was reviewing recent domain name registrations when I came across a handful of domain names that seem to be related to Obamacare:

HealthCure-Enroll.com
HealthCure-Gov.com
HealthCureEnrollment.com
HealthCureGov.com

Health Cure could be a clever name for fresh legislation to replace the Affordable Care Act, i.e. Obamacare. The U.S. government right now uses the domain name HealthCare.gov for its enrollment site.

But the registrant makes little sense to me:

I suppose Fox News could register the domain names to capture traffic from its right-leaning audience. If it knows something. Yet FoxNews.com is registered via Fox News Network, LLC c/o Twentieth Century Fox.

As for HealthCure.com, that’s registered by Gregg Ostrick. It’s listed for sale on Afternic for regarding $25,000.

Also on the wire
