Really, you're saying there are unintended consequences to laws?

Perhaps instead of trying to extract as much money out of the rest of the economy we should reduce medical costs.



I'm not sure it's fair to call them unintended consequences when this exact thing was predicted by skeptics when the law was passed.


I mean, high-school age children were predicting this. I am skeptical that the goal was to try make things better for workers. It seems much more likely that the goal was to appear to try to make things better. At least they did something, amirite?
