Great. An(other) unelected official, a(nother) czar, appointed by and answerable only to, the über-czar, uhh, President, will decide on your health care. His/her mandate? That's in Section 142:

SEC. 142. DUTIES AND AUTHORITY OF COMMISSIONER.

(a) Duties- The Commissioner is responsible for carrying out the following functions under this division:

(1) QUALIFIED PLAN STANDARDS- The establishment of qualified health benefits plan standards under this title, including the enforcement of such standards in coordination with State insurance regulators and the Secretaries of Labor and the Treasury.
