.We oppose the overreach of federal authority, the false advertising, the false “flexibility” claims with no meaningful flexibility for States, the continued discussion of an HHS-run “federal” Exchange while the Administration has no plans or money to create or run one—every State-based Exchange will actually be a Federal Exchange—the controls implemented over patient care and the many uses of the word “require” and “must” while still claiming the Exchange offers choice, competition, clout, and “flexibility.”
In general, we are opposed to the proposed exchange regulation, which requires States to set up a federal structure by which the federal government can control virtually all facets of health care nationwide. We conclude by asking HHS to withdraw the entire rule.
...The specific concerns we have chosen to address regarding the exchange proposals, although there are many more, are titled:
Endless Stream of Exchange Regulations
Overreach of Federal Authority – proposed codification must be withdrawn
False Advertising
Exchange is Government Entity
Privacy Protection Ruse
Myth of a “Federal” Exchange
Ruse of “Flexibility” for States – a long list of examples
Discrimination against Average Citizens
Elimination of an Entire Industry by a Government Entity
Please withdraw the entire rule
