Why Don’t We Invent a Federal Scratch Ticket for Health Care Reform?

Hey, I’m serious!
Think about this for a second…
1. Government pays poor people Welfare, Social Security and (fill in the blank);
2. Poor people run to the store and buy cigarettes, glass tube cigar w/baking soda, and scratch tickets;
3. Govt gets its money back from high cig taxes and abominable odds of winning on scratch tickets.
So, WE THE TAXPAYER first GIVE to the poor.
Then the govt TAKES IT BACK from the poor.
Now WE THE TAXPAYER have to buy them free health care on top of it all… gotta love that cigarettes, baking soda/crack pipe, fritos diet!
So, what do you think of a national scratch ticket.
1. 1 in every X wins health insurance that would rival that of Donald Trump;
2. 1 in every Y wins free checkups and diagnostics for the next 20 years;
3. 1 in every Z wins a half decent health insurance package
4. All those who lose can exchange losing tickets for $1 each put into a health care savings account for them.
This would:
1. Give people who are going to WASTE their money on losing odds some free health care with TAX MONEY they ALREADY got from us for one reason or another;
2. Turns a negative into a positive by teaching them SAVING; and
3. Keeps our world cleaner (eh libs, ehhh?) by all these people SAVING their tickets, and/or picking them up from the ground and keeping them out of the dumps;
4. Creates a sub-economy for those who really DONT want health care, or are already taken care of can sell/trade their Federal Scratch tickets (health care value $1/ea) for whatever the market will pay.
Maybe they can get their neighbors to pay 50c each?
What a great Xmas gift a bunch of already scratched Federal Health Care Reform Scratch Tickets would make.
Do you think I’m onto something here?
What shall we NAME the tickets?
And How much shall we charge?
What other modifications, additions and/or subtractions would you like to make to this proposal????!!!
