Subject: Re: Boom. The EO I wanted (healthcare pricing)
They can issue regs to require the insurance companies to disclose pricing of care all day long:

How? They can't issue a regulation unless there's a statute authorizing them to issue that regulation.

Unless Congress passes a law that requires insurance companies to disclose pricing, the Executive can't just decide to make them do it. If there's a statute, the agencies can promulgate regulations to implement it. But if there isn't a statutory basis for the regulation, they can't.

What statute authorizes the agencies to require price disclosure (that isn't already being implemented)?
