“The PPACA authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to make a proposal if the IPAB board does not do so by a set date. As with the board, if Congress does not provide an alternative to that proposal, then the Secretary is authorized to implement it unilaterally, and with appropriated funds if necessary. (Presumably, the funds would come from Medicare.) In short, a panel of 15 experts will assume the unprecedented power of making federal law and changing laws previously enacted by Congress. Or one woman will: Secretary of HHS Kathleen Sebelius.”
