Government Healthcare question?

If we are expanding a government run healthcare system can someone explain what has the government done that has been:

-Under or on budget

-On time

-Worked as offered

In the last 30 years?

I can't think of any government project that has been successful.

Can you?

    More importantly, the government plans to force you to buy insurance. There will be no public option, only forced purchase of a private insurance policy. This is the first time in U.S history that the gov't will be forcing us to buy a product.

    Unlike car insurance (not mandatory) you will have no choice but to buy insurance unless you make below 16,000 per year. This 'individual mandate' is included in every version of the bill.

    The federal government has had a successful insurance program since 1933. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is a independent agency of the federal government.

    Nope, can't think of a thing, this Cash for Clunkers program is a perfect example of government's ineptitude..

    One Government project that has worked would be their own pay raises.
