Cash for clunkers a good reason to stay away from healthcare

Cash for clunkers is a huge success in that it drove many to get something from the government, that being our tax dollars. So if it is such a success why does it scare the crap out of me? Simply put if many people will flock to a government program that gives them a discount, what will they do when the government takes over healthcare and gives it away for free (at tax payer expense of course). You see the people went to the dealers and got what they thought would be a good deal, they are now finding that the money they saved will be shown as income so they will have to pay taxes on it! The dealers are still trying to get through the huge amount of paper work and many may get stiffed, but hey you went further in debt and got the car you wanted.
Here is the healthcare angle; if the government is telling us that it will cost $1.5 Trillion dollars to insure everyone do you really think that is an accurate amount, when they couldn’t even budget for a billion dollar program.
Next don’t you think the looters of the world will take advantage of the health care and run the tab up? The mentality of getting something for nothing is so pervasive in our culture that it is guaranteed that people who don’t need it will get it just to have it, this of course will make supplies and providers scarce and drive up prices.
The example of what people do when you give them a discount is a great one to show healthcare won’t work, why not get to the root of the problem? Tort reform, that changes to a looser pays system and caps on rewards. Next support better funding for the systems that are already in place like the County Health department (note I have had people give bad reviews of service provided), last start bringing criminal charges against people who knowingly are perpetrating a fraud against the Medicare, Social security or any other agency (example: false disabilities).
