Clunker Healthcare

I've often asked people when they praise the idea of government-run health care if they really want the same unhappy, snarking bureaucrats who populate the DMV and various other government offices running healthcare. The obvious answer is "No." Seriously, when was the last time you had a thoroughly pleasant experience at the DMV?

So, the government decided that in order to pull old cars off the road, reduce those mysterious greenhouse gases that seem to be floating around all the windbags in D.C., and to stimulate auto sales, they would pass the ridiculous "Cash For Clunkers" program. Less than a week into the program, turns out...they out of cash! Seriously, the fools who thought up this things have been mentally and morally bankrupt for years, but they are actually out of cash only 6 days into the program and it has been suspended at this point. New York City auto salesman, Rob Bojaryn said it best:

If they can't administer a program like this, I'd be a little concerned about my health insurance.

The federal government shows its ineptitude yet again in predicting the financial cost of a foolish, social-engineering program, but there will still be people who think the government should run health care.
