INSTAVISION: I talk with Peter Suderman about ObamaCare, Waivers, the Courts and the Law of Unintended Consequences. Plus, why today’s legislation is like buggy software.

UPDATE: Programmer Jody Green says I’m way too optimistic with my software analogy:

I have written software for over 35 years and these bills are not like buggy software. These bills are written knowing that the user interface is flawed because they never tested it with real users but this is of no consequence. These little user interface flaws only distract from the primary purpose of the software and that is to be a Trojan Horse providing a back door to accomplish the real objective. The buggier the software the quicker you will need new software to fix the problems of the original only moving you closer to the real purpose. This is just as sophisticated as the Stuxnet although it’s target is the United States of America. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Well, that’s encouraging.
