Mr. T Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 ObamaCare’s 5,931 Pages Of Regulations. Happy 2nd Anniversary! And you thought the actual legislation was a tome. But the number of pages of regulations being released due to ObamaCare is beginning to make the initial bill look like a pamphlet. By IBD’s count, the regulations are up to 5,931 pages. That includes small, two-pagers that counsel employers to give sufficient break time for nursing mothers, to the recent 644-page behemoth on the health insurance exchanges. A few thoughts: First, Obama told us that his reform would make health care more accessible and affordable. Lucky for him he didn’t say it would result in less paperwork. Second, as this blog recently noted, ObamaCare requires private insurers to make sure the information about their policies runs no more than six pages. Clearly, this is more proof government doesn’t have to follow the rules it sets for everyone else. Finally, a great deal of frustration and worry must be in store for physicians, nurses, hospitals, and many other providers. After all, it’s not that hard to be in violation of at least a few rules when there are over 50,000 pages of them. Indeed, we’ve already seen what trouble these regulations can cause with the recent kerfuffle over birth control. One can only wonder what else will eventually emerge. Or, you can try to find out for yourself. Here is the list of the regulations that IBD has compiled. All except the first one (the 644-pager on exchanges) can be downloaded at the Federal Register.

Westside Steve Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Actually it doesn't necessarily make it bad, but it does make it beyond the understanding of almost every senator congressman or politician in the u s. And I could probably be eliminate the word almost. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 especially when they hurry up and force a vote before reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
