11,588,500 words: Obamacare regs 30X as long as law
CNS News – Penny Starr – 10/14/2013
(CNSNews.com) --
Bureaucracies in the Obama Administration have thus far published approximately
11,588,500 words of final Obamacare regulations, while there are only 381,517
words in the Obamacare law itself.
That means unelected federal
officials have now written 30 words of regulations for each word in the law.
What is commonly known as
the Obamacare law includes both the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(PPACA)
and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA).
Since these bills were signed into law by President Barack Obama in March 2010,
various agencies in the administration have published 109 final regulations
spelling out how they are to be implemented.
For each word actually in
the Obamacare law that Congress enacted, the Obama administration has written
30 more words in regulations indicating how it will be enforced.
