Opponents of the Exchange Information Disclosure Act have argued that requiring weekly reports on the health care law to the American people is too burdensome, too costly for the Department of Health and Human Services. Yet, somehow, HHS managed to find money in its budget for taxpayer-funded grants spent on such things as bike lane signs, dog neutering campaigns, promoting a sport called ``pickleball,'' and lobbying campaigns for soda taxes. Clearly, HHS does not suffer from a lack of resources. I reserve the balance of my time.
