Can the Ontario Government Suck AND Blow?

Proving an “economic loss” became a hot topic.  Some insurers wanted to only pay the amount of the loss, and others would pay the amount of attendant care benefit (as calculated by the OT), as long as a loss existed.  This issue was tried in court, and in Henry vs Gore (2013) the decision was that “the extent of the economic loss was irrelevant…as long as there was any economic loss during the period in question the person can qualify for the services they provided…”
Then, just last month this decision was overturned by the Ontario government, the SABS were amended, and now people providing care cannot receive more “than the extent of the economic loss sustained by the attendant…as a direct result of providing the care…”

So, I ask, can the government really suck and blow?  I guess so because there are so many elements of this that both defy logic and are clearly unfair.
