>> Everything you touch everyday is regulated. Yet, we survive. Even thrive, compared to most of the world. But it would be difficult to show that all those regulations, on a net basis, are helpful. Our ancestors survived, and thrived, and thrived comparatively better without most of them. That's not to say we need NO regulation. In fact, I would argue that most of the "departments" of the federal government which apply regulations are needed. But at only a fraction of their extent. >> How could that be possible if the "mistakes are huge" and "wreck peoples lives"? Almost every regulation is just common sense to protect the consumer... and the ACA will likely prove out the same. While I believe Democrats believed they were doing what was best for the health care system, their objectives were tainted by the goal of making people "vote Democrat for the next 200 years." And in the end, the political objective guided the process and the objective of doing what is best for the American people was lost. As a result, unless the legislation is tossed out by the Court or repealed after Obama is out of office, American health care peaked in 2008.
