Medicare is ALREADY regulated this way, and this happened prior to Obamacare.

The Clean Air Act has been run amok in exactly this way. Congress could easily, for example, exempt CO2 from regulation by the EPA. But it won't.

#2 So much of the progressive legislation that we have today, OSHA, EPA, etc. decide administratively what the law is going to be. Congress usually never sees much of this bureaucratic decision-making. Agencies have administrative judges who decide and make the law. The only way to not have this extra-legislative law-making is to get rid of this bureaucratic structure--not an easy thing to do.

In the instance of the PPACA, I wonder if SCOTUS declares the entire law unconstitutional, the IPAB will also go away.

When citizens have control over the government, it is liberty. When the government has control over the citizens, it is tyranny.

#4 Any resolution to abolish the IPAB must pass both houses of Congress.

I thought one Congress could not bind the hands of another. Am I wrong?

#5 I think it says a great deal about ObamaCare that its authors went to great pains to make it hard to repeal or change.
