More Obamacare Regulations to Come in 2014

So we have that to look forward to

|

The Obama administration is busy drafting more than 50 additional regulations required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new government report finds.

The Congressional Research Service identified some 43 proposed and final rules related to the landmark healthcare law that are now under construction at various agencies and are on track to be issued within the next 12 months.

An additional 13 long-term rules are making their way through the regulatory pipeline but will not be finalized in 2014, according to the report.

Produced for Congress, the study is designed to give lawmakers a clearer sense of the work that remains at Department of Health and Human Services, the Internal Revenue Service and other agencies responsible for implementing ObamaCare's provisions.
