Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 A single 6-page section of the Obamacare law has become 429 pages of regulations thanks to HHS. If this ratio holds, then the 907 page law will become 64850 pages of regulations. There is no way the health care industry could withstand that. And remember, once the Dems rammed this bill through they immediately began crowing that it was only the first step. Giving proof to Main Street's worries that President Obama's healthcare reform will lead to thousands of new and costly regulations, the Department of Health and Human Services has taken one small section of the law and written enough new rules to every page of Obama's campaign book, The Audacity of Hope—plus another 45 pages. [Check out a roundup of political cartoons on healthcare.] Section 3022 of the law, which is about the Medicare shared savings program, take up just six pages in the 907-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But HHS has turned that into 429 pages of new regulations and that's too much, says Republican Wyoming Sen. Barrasso, a practicing doctor. http://www.usnews.com/news/washington-whispers/articles/2011/04/07/6-pages-of-obamacare-equals-429-pages-of-regulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
