Talking Wake up America....

Well, for all the kool-aid drinkers and want the government to run their healthcare, take a look at the current cash for clunkers program :
Local TV crew Interviewing the car dealers shows it takes up to 5 hours for the dealerships to put in for each clunker because the computer online program consistently crashes...
Explain to the dealers and consumers trying to partake of this giveaway, tell the people to sit for over 5 hours to see IF they qualify with their clunker for the program, a lot of dealers are now having the consumer sign a contract saying that IF their trade in vehicle does NOT qualify they have to bring back immediately the new vehicle and the deal is void !! ( what does this cause as far as customer goodwill ??)
Now the government decided to change the mpg on a lot of the older cars and they do NOT qualify for the program, this will affect people's interests
The program doesn't know exactly how much money they have for the program and because over 20,000 have participate so far, there is a RUMOR that there is another 20,000 in the pipeline !!?? The government doesn't really know !!??
A lot of dealers are told to hold the clunkers for awhile before they put the solution in the engine to disable the engine....just in case anything falls through on the deal....
Is this the same government we want to decide our healthcare and not sure how to handle a simple program like "clunkers" what do you think the healthcare will be like ?? Do you think you will be on the computer for hours trying to get through to get preapproved for a doctor's visit or a procedure ??!!

WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!

Wow, a brand new nationwide program that's insanely more popular than anyone could have conceived having a few kinks to work out in its first days of getting the claims processing up and running?

I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked. Private companies NEVER have glitches and hitches with huge nationwide launches like this. NEVER!
