Post: "Health Care Clunker"

"Want a sneak preview of how Washington-run health care likely will oper ate?
Look no further than your local car lot...

"It seems that demand for new cars is exceeding the "Cash for Clunker" program's $1 billion appropriation.
But here's another problem: The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that at a meeting this week of 150 Minnesota auto dealers, not one has gotten a single transaction approved by Washington.
"We asked how many had a deal approved yet, and not one hand went up," said Scott Lambert, vice president of the Minnesota Auto Dealers Association -- adding that the program is "so big and cumbersome that it can't find a way to accept anything."...

"Many dealers have agreed that any customer whose purchase is rejected can return the car and void the contract.
Alas, doctors can't make the same promise when it comes to a gallbladder.
And what happens when Washington runs out of health-care dollars?

"Suspend ObamaCare?"
