    Of course, that was BEFORE that part of Canada had ZeroCare.

    So...what counts more--the health care choices of a seeming economic prodigy in the 60s or the current PREMIER OF LABRADOR AND NEWFOUNDLAND.

    These stories are a dime a dozen, is the point, and Palin apparently thinks any person who would trade American healthcare for Canadian healthcare is a socialist, marxist, leninist, hopey-changey-law-professory *********.

    It's just interesting that apparently she feels this way about her parents.

    You know the lefties are desperate when the only thing they got to defend their government takeover is a toddler going to rural clinic in the 60s. Before that province had socialized healthcare even.

    Anyway, its still not going to pass. And the donks will still lose congress.

    Ask that Brit who died of dehydration and maltreatment in hospital in the UK. Called the cops, they came because he said he couldn't get a drink of water and the nurses told the cops everything was okay. The guy dies the next day or so. The local council is now weighing charges of corporate homicide against the hospital.

    And nobody ever dies in a U.S. hospital because of bad decisions, malpractice or general idiocy, right?

    They do, but usually at the ****ty government run hospitals that libs make the vets & minorities go to (so they don't have to see them and feel all guilty about it).

    Look, Canada's program isn't perfect. U.K.'s program isn't perfect. They are both likely behind Germany and Switzerland. Japan and Taiwan have everyone covered as well and their hospitals are going bankrupt. Our program isn't perfect. But we don't need to copy other systems. We just need to find our way to make it better. There are things that we do that are superior to other programs, and there are things we do that are inferior to other programs. No one single system today has it right. That is why should just keep what works, and discuss alternative ways fix what doesn't. Problem is that neither party wants to come to an agreement. One party wants to change too much, the other wants to change little to nothing. Until the **** measuring contest slows down, it will be business as always in Washington......things get done that don't really matter in the long run and the important issues get pushed down to others years from now. Color me shocked.

    And we wonder why even a Canadian Premier won't go to the hospitals in Canada.

    It sounds like she lived so far out in the boonies that Canada was her only real option. Unless our health care system plans to stick health centers out in the Alaska wilderness, I fail to see the relevance.

    Again, its a diversion, and sadly it's all they got going for them now.

    They know their health care bill is a POS, and Obama and dims are toast.

    I can't stand Palin, and I don't even think there is much to this. She was a kid. And yeah it sounds like they lived out in the boonies.

    At least Palin showed she knows the meaning of "ironic."

    Bush would be PISSED if you called him "ironic". He would probably say, "No I'm not, you are!"

    LOL, I had to. No more Bush jokes from me. Moving on.....
