Yet Another New Obamacare Bureaucracy

For medical help, contact this building
Heritage  "To fix the problem, the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO)—a government entity created under the new law to oversee the changes made by Obamacare to the private insurance market—stepped in. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued regulations giving CCIIO the power to waive that requirement, thus arbitrarily determining winners and losers under the new law and resulting in a system where some must abide by new regulations while others are given a “get out of jail free” card by bureaucrats at CCIIO"
We'll be asking questions later, so be sure you get this all down.

Six Steps to Reining in the Administrative State  "This terribly unpopular law led millions of citizens to ask of themselves and their neighbors: Are we citizens in a constitutional republic or subjects of the administrative state?
"Then the elections came. Americans went to the polls and voiced their opposition to the health care overhaul. But is it too late for Congress to roll back the administrative state? Drawing on a recent Center for American Studies scholars’ conference on that topic (look for more papers to come),  Robert Moffit offers six steps for Congress to roll back the administrative state."

Paul Ryan accuses W.H. of skirting Medicare law "Ryan claims the White House owes Congress a plan for shoring up Medicare funding because the federal government is covering more than its targeted share of the program. Ryan points to a provision of the 2003 Medicare law that requires the president to act. "

Speaking of bureaucracies:  Debt, the Economy and Government 'Investments'  "Did you know that those in the federal government -- the folks who brought you $1.6 trillion of yearly deficits, brought you $14 trillion of debt and make Elmo a reality -- offer Americans 56 separate programs to help them better understand their finances?"  And.....

The U.S. government gives its citizens lots of overlap and inefficiency for their tax dollars "Have you got a hangnail? Somewhere in the federal bureaucracy there has to be a program even for such a minor ill. Because there are dozens and dozens of programs for everything else. So says a new report from the Government Accountability Office"
