Sarah Palin family used Canada health care
p2pnet view P2P | Politics:- Ex-Alaskan governor and ex-US vice-presidential wannabe Sarah Palin, now a Fux News person, admitted her family used to head east from Alaska, drawn there by Canada’s health care system.
“My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse,” she said during a speech in Calgary over the weekend, says the Golbe and Nail.
She went on >>>
Believe it or not — this was in the ’60s — we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn’t that kind of ironic now.
Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada.
“In what was billed as her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska last summer, Ms. Palin’s trademark folksy charm was on full display Saturday night”, the story enthuses, continuing:
“She joked that her distinctive accent means she’s often mistaken for Canadian and that she has two great-grandfathers from Canada, including one from Moose Jaw, Sask.
“ ‘That must be where my love of moose came from,’ she said to laughter and applause.”
Meanwhile, “On the Daily Kos website, one post — entitled Sarah ‘The Death Panel Queen’ Palin Went to Canada for Health Care — called the former Alaskan governor ‘opportunistic’ and ‘hypocritical’,” says the Canwest News Service, adding:
“ ‘It’s good enough for her, but not for the rest of the American people who don’t have easy access to Canada and a system that isn’t based on wage discrimination?’ the post made on the left-leaning political blog stated.
” And Gawker.com also pointed out Palin’s comment, writing that her family put her brother on a train ‘and sent him to Canada for the socialism.’
“Palin has previously claimed Canada should dismantle its public health care system and called the push by U.S. President Barack Obama to nationalize the American system ‘irresponsible,’ suggesting the move would allow ‘death panels’ to choose whether Americans would live or die’.”
Now you know.

Palin should have stayed in Canada – so that the rest of us can stop threatening to move there!

The whole framework of the debate is in error. Health is not a commodity that can be dispensed by government, though they are good at harming or killing people. Meanwhile the false choice of having health dispensed from big businesses or the government that is in bed with them every night is no choice at all. The reform that is needed is to rein in the reckless overuse of drugs in healthy people to treat lab values, the use of dangerous and unproven vaccines for everything under the sun, the screening tests such as whole body CT scans “virtual physicals” which expose the recipient to an amount of radiation similar to that of Hiroshima atomic bomb survivors 1 1/2 miles from the blast, etc, etc. The last thing we need is more of such “healthcare” least of all from a government that could care less about the health and lives of its citizens. But it must be a powertrip for bureaucrats to try and meddle in the most private details of the citizens.
