Title: Palin went to canada for healthcare?
Post by: 2ND COMING on March 08, 2010, 02:48:34 PM
Quote
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's family got healthcare in Canada, why?  Because they perceived it to be cheaper/better value.

Joe the Plumber was a welfare recipient as a child, why?  Because the state deemed his parents were poor enough to need financial help with him.

Sense a theme here?  Some entitlements (I hate that word) actually HELP CHILDREN.  It is EASY for Palin to use her sex appeal and attack dog tactics to pay for USA healthcare as a 45 year old woman, but should we have just let her suffer from illness as a child?  Sure, Joe the Plumber has plenty of earning power now, as an educated sane voice for the GOP... but without WIC and foodstamps as a kid, he might have starved.

Entitlements and socialized medicine were needed to keep two of the GOP's finest prizes plugging away when they were just kids.  Are you saying we should let the next generation of GOP superstars starve or get malaria?

hahaha good point 240.  what exactly did she do besides entitle handouts to citizens for just being Alaskan.  In fact what has she ever done?  Everyone talks about her time doing this and that but the things she has done are never mentioned.  Just vague references to her being around when something happened.  Sounds to me like the right has their own Obama  ;D

you and I both know the repubs won't rally a national healthcare march - but it could really win it for them.

they would NEED to work together.... Palin without a 150k$ fee.... Rush without the king's throne... steele without a chance to hock his book... etc etc....

Side by side, the top 200 repubs in the nation manning the phones, calling every radio host and average joe for a week straight to invite them on this march ;)

It is hilarious that people hold her responsible for the choices her parents made.
I can just see it now an 8 year old Sarah Palin, I am not going to Canad because they have medicare and in 40years from now people will hold me responsible for my actions.

Give it a break.

Also In the 70's Canadian healthcare rocked. We outspent almost every nation, w had dentists goint o elementary schools for free.
Free glasses for kids and all the prescriptions drugs you wanted.

Then in the 80's we went broke.

You never got milk & cookies before nap time in kindergarten? Dude you were ripped off.  :'(
I remember them giving us a choice bwteen regular milk & chocolate milk, and all I could think at the time, was that there was no such thing as chocolate milk, but they proved me wrong. It was pretty good too.  :P

I remember standing in line waiting for the dentist to check our teeth, and the dental assistant who kept sticking the same instrument into everybodies mouth. When she got to me, I made her use a fresh one.

Dude, I'm still feeling for ya about the lack of milk & cookies. Did you at least have finger painting?

What are you talking about? HER PARENTS TOOK HER to Canada for care, WHEN SHE WAS A KID. And, that was simply because they couldn't get to the "lower 48", due to inclement weather.

Where did the Heath family go, once they moved?

Where does Palin's family go NOW?
