And they’re still going strong.
Now that they have the Supreme Court’s go-ahead, federal and state officials are looking to begin the implementation of the PPACA, meaning that it’s time to start adding to the already 13,000 pages-worth of the law’s directives — an endeavor that’s going to cost us all a lot of money and resources. I don’t know how the people actually writing the darn things aren’t daunted, but the thought of this many bureaucrats, trying to administer the minutiae of so many rules and regulations, on behalf of the entire country, has me shakin’ in my boots (h/t Gateway Pundit):
The Health and Human Services Department “was given a billion dollars implementation money,” Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg of Montana said. “That money is gone already on additional bureaucrats and IT programs, computerization for the implementation.”
“Oh boy,” Stan Dorn of the Urban Institute said. “HHS has a huge amount of work to do and the states do, too. There will be new health insurance marketplaces in every state in the country, places you can go online, compare health plans.” …
“It’s a delegation of extensive authority from Congress to the Department of Health and Human Services and a lot of boards and commissions and bureaus throughout the bureaucracy,” Matt Spalding of the Heritage Foundation said. “We counted about 180 or so.” …
“They are asking for several hundred new employees,” Dorn said. “You have rules you need to write and you need lawyers, so there are lots of things you need to do when you are standing up a new enterprise.” …
180 new bureaus/boards/commissions, hundreds of new employees, billions of dollars, who knows how many new rules to comply with… the mind reels. Make no mistake about it, whatever Team Obama says — this is a massive, unprecedented expansion of federal power. Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass it to know what’s in it, and we’re still not even done figuring out what’s in it. Awesome.
And it’s not as if all of these rules and regulations are just innocent little administrative instructions, either; the Catholic Church, for instance, isn’t too pleased with the rule decreeing that insurance plans need to cover contraception, regardless of religious affiliations. What other nefarious liberty-infringing, social-engineering surprises are going to come out of this legislative Pandora’s box?
Where are we going to find a wall long enough for all these officials?
Lining them up against the Great Wall of China might work. It’s also one job we could happily outsource...:)
I think the russkies used to stack them two or three deep and then use high power ammo so one shot took out multiple.
What page is it that states how much better and cheaper your healthcare is going to be if you are a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT or ILLEGAL ALIEN (soon to be registered democrat)?
All those 13,000 pages can be stuffed up all those “officials” @$$holes!...
It’s a bargain! - Each page only cost taxpayers about $10,000,000 to write!
Implementation will be about 1,000 times more.
it's reusable!
The goal is obviously to make this monstrosity “too big to fail.” That’s why it needs to go as soon as possible.
How ‘bout by the end of January.
The only thing that slows them down is the orgasms they keep having.
You have earned yourself an award for best post of the day. (at least)
The Democrats and their sycophantic public administration drones are ginning up a huge bureaucracy, a la `Brazil/1984,’ to make our lives a living hell and guarantee themselves a political monopsony (yeah, that’s a real, albeit Tyrell, word) until the wheels come off and everything and one goes Mad Max.
(whew!)
Do we need to import these from France? I’d like to buy American if I can, but I want to make sure these’s No Waiting!
No matter what they still never thank our side for reading the thousands of pages they crank out so they don’t have to. Why should they go to the trouble of reading any of it if we tell them what’s in it?
An amendment to the constitution should say ......No law made by congress shall exceed 3 pages in lenght, double spaces....The jackass’s in the government wouldn’t know what to do..
