How is this Possible?

This is frightening. In fact it even borders on insanity in my opinion. While we hear that the healthcare system is broken all the time now, and that a Government sponsored healthcare is not only better but required; I can't help but hesitate. The people in this article in my opinion are just abusing the system- to be fair there may not be another option. But if this an accurate tally for hospitals across the nation then about 1000 people or so represent about 300 million in five years- charged to medicare/medicaid. So where's my slice of the pie? According to those ratio's I could be eligible for $300,000 in procedures and healthcare. Obviously I'm not really serious, but the fact is that people will abuse the systems- and more will abuse it once(if) the Government takes over healthcare. The line will be 'I pay taxes' which its hard to disagree then that that person shouldn't be eligible for their 'share.' And that 'share' will be the afore mentioned 300,000 on a 30-40k salary. Allow me some grossly simplified math, 5 years (10k) taxes = 50k, of that 50k 20% to healthcare (grossly high) = 10k so 300k-10k=290k in the RED per person every five years.

Short story in my opinion is then if we haven't already driven the truck off the financial cliff already with the bailouts and wars, then Government regulated healthcare surely is the death knell. I have yet to see a model where it truly works. But I don't have a better solution either so don't bother asking.
