Perhaps the greatest expansion of power will be in the Department of Health and Human Services. The Secretary of HHS will become the monarch of the health care kingdom. The Washington Examiner said the Senate health bill contains the word "secretary" 2,500 times, and that "The legislation lists 1,697 times where the Secretary of Health and Humans Services is given the authority to create, determine or define things in the bill."The Secretary of HHS would take over insurance regulation from the states, in a massive power shift, and would define qualified plans, what they cover, what they should cost and who should be covered. Competition and choice, the President's favorite buzz words, will disappear, as HHS becomes the focal point of central planning for health care.
