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.

It's almost reads like The Onion.
Like the Colbert video says, "Palin's a F!@#ing Retard!" |

| How the hell did she get Canadian coverage without a SIN and a provincial/territorial health card? She is Canadian? Dual citizenship? |

From Countdown, March 8:
Ironic? Certainly. And odd, considering in 2007, a different version
of that story published in “The Skagway News,” when Palin visited the town
as governor: “Palin drew from her Skagway past to illustrate her point.
Her brother burned his foot badly jumping through a fire, and her mother
had to take him down to Juneau on the ferry to the hospital.” |

Wait a minute.
Doesn't the American electoral rules require that any potential president be American born? |

| dglas, since I posted that Birf Certificate outside of Moonscape News, I feel it's incumbent upon me to point out the "issue date" on it. Hint, hint. |

Well, yes, I was bad, because I took that outside my Moonscape ghetto, where it could more easily be mistaken as real. By the credulous. 
Even so, I think it was far better than either of the phony Kenyan certificates that Orly Taitz and the other Birfers fell for. |

It is my understanding that it was made perfectly legal, as she crossed the border on her broomstick.
