Palin Crossed Border For Canadian 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.

If the Republicans put her up as their presidential candidate, she won't need to cross the border anymore. Obama will have it for sure in his easily won second term.

Uh, did I read right that she was 6 years old at the time?

It doesn't matter. Sarah Palin is evil. I also heard in the 5th grade she cheated on her math test and didn't play nicely with others at recess.

Sounds like more people need to get her new book - especially if 6-year-olds are involved.

We should send her a retroactive bill just for floating that absolute bullshit "death panel" talking point. With interest applied.

It really doesn't matter if she was 6, or 66, the fact that she has had to receive healthcare from Canadians should have made her realize NOW that healthcare is broken, and needs reform. The irony is not lost here, regardless.

She should know better. She's just a dumb cunt.

Evil? I dunno if she rises to the level of evil. I don't think she's smart enough to be evil.

Actually, when she was 6 we had a different health care system.

Depends on where you lived I guess.
You guys still had some changes in store in 1970
