Sarah Palin, Healthcare Hypocrite, Went to Canada for Care

BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
by Jeffrey Joseph

With President Obama working hard to take his message of healthcare reform to the people and health insurers looking to raise rates, it appears rather telling about the larger debate that Sarah Palin, FOX contributor and one of healthcare reform's most public opponents, has been such an overt hypocrite about the topic.

Reminiscing about her childhood, Palin recently told a group in Canada about how she and her family used to cross the border to receive healthcare in Canada. It indeed proved an "ironic" admission, as she called it, though Palin left it unclear if she realized in what way. This same woman has denigrated healthcare reform efforts in the U.S., which aspire to move the nation closer to the rankings of the far more successful Canadian system, as "downright evil." Even now, years after she and her family reaped the benefits of Canada's universal healthcare, Palin had the audacity to criticize that system for needing to allow a "private sector takeover" as if that model has always served her well in the past.

Palin's story reveals more about how much of a joke she is, and not just because of her stand-up performance on Jay Leno. The interview with Leno had her actually parroting FOX's motto in demanding "that there needs to be the fairness, the balance in there. That's why I joined FOX." Surprisingly, she did not appear to make that utterance in good humor, perhaps unwilling to test the audience too much. As one member of the audience and author of the Going Rouge coloring book noted, Palin's humor appeared to fall flat and require a laugh track to make it presentable. She may have had better luck eliciting laughter if she tried her line defending her incredibly hypocritical telepalmer incident by claiming that God does it, too.

No wonder Palin so regularly denigrates the media, of which she is a member, and tries to exclude others from her events; the jokes that she makes intentionally hardly have the desired effect, but the real humor and insight into her values come from Palin's attempts to be serious. For the adequately informed, Palin makes for an unwitting jester. Unfortunately, for a number of people willfully ignorant of Palin's hypocrisy, the views she pretends to hold could harm the progress of the concerned citizens who would rather not have to cross the border for healthcare. They should ask for the the would-be comedian to be pulled from the stage -- and choose to Turn Off FOX.

Politics as usual

Most of the politicians, including Sarah Palin have "Government-Sponsored Insurance," but they don't want the working poor or middle class to get the same benefits. They are subsidized by taxpayers and yet claim they don't want healthcare reform. Why don't they give up their government health insurance and buy individual policies instead? In other words hypocrisy is at it's best. criminal justice careers | healthcare management careers | online accounting degree programs | online criminal justice degree programs | online business degrees

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin gets way too much press she was and is a politcal joke!  She was only put into place to get votes from women there was never any question of her ever succeeding.  Saying that why is anyone even wondering about her opinion what she needs to do is fix her own life she could never run this country! 

Obama won!  No get over it he was voted in so let's work together to fix this country forget his race because we are all AMERICANS!!!  Why do we need our ignorance to be broadcast worldwide. 

Sarah Palin couldn't even dress herself her opinion on healthcare is so biased especially since she crossed over into Canada to receive the type of healthcare that this administration is trying to get for the American people in general. If you think that denying the people in this country health care coverage is showing that you are capable of running this country you are sadly mistaken!  This bill needs passing and like yesterday. 

Healthcare Hypocrite ?

There is a myth circulating that Palin is a healthcare hypocrite because she or her family  allegedly received free healthcare from the Canadian system. Here is Palin's quote from the Calgary speech 

"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," .. "And I think now, isn't that ironic?" 

Nothing there about getting FREE healthcare from a socialized universal healthcare system.   Remember Palin's family were not Canadian citizens.  Healthcare in Canada while free , is only available to Canadian citizens who qualify .  Currently , even CDN citizen have to reside in country for 90 days before the become eligible to receive a healthcare card.  Canadian clinics and hospitals  require ID when people show up needing care.  They do NOT have signs posted saying "Americans don't have to pay." In fact, non Canadian citizens are required to pay for services . To suppose that Canadian health care services were so loosely run as to allow a foreigner to get a free ride is an insult to the country and to their system. 

Also at the time this incident may have happened , Palin was no more than 6 years old.  it was the late 1960's . Canada did not have a fully implemented system of socialized medicine.  The present Canadian system gradually evolved with the most radical changes occurring in the 1970's and 1980's.  A recent article in The National Post -" Kevin Libin: Sarah Palin knows her Canadian health care history" , explains the history of Canadian healthcare  more fully. This Canadian paper also disputes the assumption that Palin's family received healthcare without free of charge.  They conclude that like most outsiders , the Palin family would have had to pay for the services they received.  Sorry to burst the bubble but this myth that once upon a time Palin's family received free health care from Canada , is a much of a myth and fairy tale as the belief that the President was born outside the US.   People who continue to believe this myth run the risk descending to the same level as the babbling irrelvant "birthers".  Fight Ignorance - drop this myth

 



liar, liar, pants on fre

on a previous interview, Palin told the same story (about a brother who burned his foot and had to go to a hospital in Skagway for immediate care) except she then said that the family took bro to a hospital in Juneau.  either Skagway (in Canada) or Juneau (in USA) is true;  the other is pure Palin

I totally agree

 I totally agree with you! wel said  wholesale jewelry

Did she pay?

I am most curious to know if Palin's family paid for the health care they received. We have a problem in my province of British Columbia with American tourists getting sick or injured, getting fixed up through our health care system and then buggering off without paying their bills. Health care isn't really free for Canadians as we have to pay for it through our taxes. It sure as hell shouldn't be free for visitors.

If she paid...

it was more likely with your money (and mine) rather than hers...  you betcha!

Pay?

Pay? Pay? She does not know the meaning of the word. She even had Republicans pay for her campaign clothes.

Yet another product of the MSM

So, you believe the whole 'clothing' thing eh?  Then you probably won't believe that when Sarah took office as governor of Alaska she a) sold the private jet the previous governor had bought and used public transportation, b) voted herself a pay cut, c) downsized all the paid staff at the governors mansion.  Why?  because she believes that government over-spending is a crime.  Feel free to check my facts. 

Now ask yourself truly, why would somebody vote themselves a pay cut and then rack up a huge bill on clothing and give it to the state?  There's a HUGE contradiction there!  The lie about the clothing is intended to accomplish two things: first, undermine her ethics of cutting frivolous government spending, and second, to make her look like an egotistical self-centered valley girl.

If there are any alaskans out there, tell this guy how long a pampered valley girl would last living in Alaska.

The true story of the 'clothing' is thus: the GOP bought it for her campaign wardrobe while she was running for VP.  She didn't even know about it until it was on the news.  She didn't wear any of them.  She made sure they were all returned unused.  Feel free to check my facts.
