[Check out a roundup of political cartoons on healthcare.] <span style='font-size:22px;color:blue'> Section 3022 of the law, which is about the Medicare shared savings program, take up just six pages in the 907-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. <span style='font-size:28px'>But HHS has turned that into 429 pages of new regulations</span> </span>and that's too much, says Republican Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, a practicing doctor. "Regulations increase the cost of doing business," he says. He distributed a fact sheet on the book of regulations to fellow Republicans this week.
