I think the 'Cash for Clunkers' program, and several other programs started since the beginning of the year, should be more of a concern for people when it comes to the healthcare reform bill because it demonstrates an inability by the current government to accurately project costs and the effects their programs will have. Consider (for a moment) that the government over-estimates their ability to reduce costs and fund the system through taxes by 50%, and underestimates the cost associated with running the system by 50%, you will end up with a system that costs $900 Billion where you have only paid for $400 Billion and you add $500 Billion to a $2 Trillion deficit.
