Rules & Rulemaking in the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act

Federal regulations generally start with an act of Congress, and are the means by which statutes are implemented and many specific requirements are established. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a particularly noteworthy example of congressional delegation of rulemaking authority to federal agencies. This book identifies more than 40 provisions in PPACA that require, permit, or contemplate rulemaking by federal agencies to implement the legislation.
