Ten Commandments guide behavior versus 1500+ Rules for Obama-Care
In the Ten Commandments there are 10 or so Thou SHALT NOT ….[steal, murder, bear false witness, covet].
In Obama-Care — alias the Affordable Care Act — there are 1,563 “the Secretary SHALL”.
Think of that — 10 Rules for civilized behavior versus 1,500+ Rules to control medical decisions.
The Mercatus Center at George Mason University evaluated all major Obama-Care rules that cost over $100 million a year. All of the Obama-Care rules scored F’s — some lower but all F’s.
Messrs. Conover and Ellig conclude that regulators working on deadlines usually resort to “analytical shortcuts, leading to lower-quality decisions.” The Bush Admin. post 9-11 regulatory overload was no great shakes. But at lest there in the White house was working to protect national security rather than usher in a new social and economic order through the Federal Register.
Mr. Obama has made clear that the rules will keep coming, but at least his team could try to write good bad rules Probably too much to ask.
The above is based on information from The Wall Street Journal, Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011 Badly Written Bad Rules. (more…)
