I don’t think Obamacare (which I prefer to call Romneycare or Heritagecare 
) gives a lot of new regulatory powers to the Secretary of HHS, although I could be wrong.
In the HIPAA and HITECH legislation, which is a federal rule set that pre-empts state laws, it says that the Secretary of HHS can change the content of Federal Law (specifically, the HIPAA privacy and security rules) at will, although not more than once in a 12-month period. This can and does happen.
HITECH was enacted under President Obama, but HIPAA is Clinton-era.
Is anyone in Vegas taking odds on Senate affirmation? I might like to place a wager!

In all sincerity, I believe Trump’s only gift is in his ability to productively scrape barrel bottoms when nothing appeared to be left.

Among my many frustrations with the current thieves and wretches in power is my lack of verbal skill to adequately express just how much I hate that scum and the vultures that swarm after him. Somehow I feel it might relieve me a bit if I could purge myself of that vile feeling his existence produces in the depths of my being.

And the so-called “moderate GOPers” in the Senate, like Jeff Flake and Susan Collins, will vote to confirm him. Guaranteed.

One opened recently in San Francisco over the harbor, but I’m not sure I want what’s on the other side of it either.
