Sarah Palin went to Canada for health care

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.

"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. "And I think now, isn't that ironic?"

The irony, one guesses, is that Palin now views Canada's health care system as revolting: with its government-run administration and 'death-panel'-like rationing. Clearly, however, she and her family once found it more alluring than, at the very least, the coverage available in rural Alaska. Up to the age of six, Palin lived in a remote town near the closest Canadian city, Whitehorse.

Officials at several hospitals in that area declined to give out information on patient visits.

"The Final Solution" For The Sick and Uninsured in the United States

I believe that many, if not most, republicans like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, John McCain, and Rush Limbaugh would rather see sick people die than see the government set aside any kind of money to fund a universal health care program which would include, but not be limited to, providing health care insurance for all Americans.

'The Final Solution' for the uninsured is simply to let sick people die that way we don't have to waste our money on medical treatment for them! And what was Sarah Palin's concern......oh yeah death panels. Strange how she attempted to pin that one on the Democrats and President Obama. And did you know, most of the republicans who are against helping the sick----they are Christians-In-Good-Standing in their own communities! And I always thought Christians were good Samaritans wanting to help others. Times have certainly changed. Guess Christians, Roman Catholics, and Mormons nowadays just want to watch their money grow.
