There's even a saying that gets at what you're going for: The perfect is the enemy of the good. Is this the perfect government regulation? Probably not. Better than the old way? Oh yes. Same thing for Obamacare. Perfect way to give health care to a nation? Definitely not. Better than it was before? As someone who was ineligible for health insurance due to a surgery I'd had in my 20s, oh yes. (On a side note, and as a general rule, I look to see: are big, entrenched, unpopular companies fighting a regulation? If they are, that's a sign that it's probably a regulation that's good for consumers, probably one I'd support.)
