.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more, are titled: Endless Stream of Exchange Regulations Overreach of Federal Authority – proposed codification must be withdrawn False Advertising Exchange is Government Entity Privacy Protection Ruse Myth of a “Federal” Exchange Ruse of “Flexibility” for States – a long list of examples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
