"[The Chamber remains] concerned about the Administration's apparent procedural short-cuts and worry that it will deter the public from participating in the regulatory process.... [Further, the Chamber remains] concerned that several parts of the Proposed Rule are overreaching to inappropriately advance ideological goals. The statutory language imposes significant burdens on employers, insurers and individuals. Additional burdens will only harm the affordability of coverage and undermine the goal of improving access to affordable coverage....
