From CNS News (hat tip Tea Party Economist)
Since March 2010, when President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and its companion Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA), the administration has published in the Federal Register 109 final regulations governing how Obamacare will be implemented.

These regulations add up to 10,516 pages in the Federal Register—or more than eight times as many pages as there are in the Gutenberg Bible, which has 642 two-sided leaves or 1,286 pages.
From the admonitions of Roman orator lawyer and senator popularly known as Publius Tacitus (or Gaius Cornelius Tacitus) [Annals 117]
laws were most numerous when the commonwealth was most corrupt (or the popular variant: The more corrupt the state, the more laws)
