Heard on the radio this morning, by the end of the month, the Obama administration and the media will be calling it BoehnerCare.

>If you don't include the existing and proposed regulations to which the ACA references, there is no way to know how to comply or if you are complying. Um, you make a phone call. If I have a legal case and didn't go to law school, does that mean I can't get legal help? No. There are people who are paid to know the law. If I need a book, and I haven't read and absorbed every line of code behind Amazon's website, well, no books for me? >And you also wouldn't be able to design the web portal and back end integration without all 22,000 pages. Wow. You're including website design and code? Just wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. The logic tonight around here is sweet... -Z

Far more than that. I haven't read them but I've read a LOT of tax regulations, and they almost always make reference to arcane provisions that you can't just ignore. I can guarantee you that the ACA regulations make reference to the majority ownership provisions of the income tax regulations as well as the corporate and insurance provisions. If you don't already know what those mean you have to go figure them out. 22,000 pages of Regulations is a lot, for anything. No one today, other than perhaps some of the professionals who drafted them, has a good grasp of the overall picture. And the interpretations in the regulations will be argued before courts in thousands of cases for years to come. It is beyond vast. I cannot imagine that someone could draft such legislation without pausing and thinking, "WTF are we doing here? Is this just stupid or what?"
