Excellent Sarah Palin Op-Ed on Health Care

Posted on 09/09/2009 11:16:05 AM PDT by Starman417

It's a shame she is not giving the rebuttal to Obama's speech tonight!

Sarah Palin is proving that she doesn't have to be a sitting governor to be relevant in the current policy debate over health care. By bringing high level attention to the matter of death panels and health care rationing she forced the "news" media to cover a story they might otherwise ignore.

She's done it again with this reply to Obama's op-ed in health care.

I know you will want to read the whole thing, but here's a teaser:

Common sense tells us that the government's attempts to solve large problems more often create new ones. Common sense also tells us that a top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our economy. And common sense tells us to be skeptical when President Obama promises that the Democrats' proposals "will provide more stability and security to every American."

With all due respect, Americans are used to this kind of sweeping promise from Washington. And we know from long experience that it's a promise Washington can't keep. Let's talk about specifics. In his Times op-ed, the president argues that the Democrats' proposals "will finally bring skyrocketing health-care costs under control" by "cutting . . . waste and inefficiency in federal health programs like Medicare and Medicaid and in unwarranted subsidies to insurance companies . . . ."

If the GOP had any guts and sense, it would be Sarah Palin laying waste on Obambi.

No wonder the Left tries to smear Sarah Palin so vigorously. She makes too much sense.

Great Job Sarah!

We don’t need some limp-wristed GOP response tonight!
Sarah’s pre-emptive strike is sufficient.

Are you suggesting that MSM will even cover or allow a GOP response?

Once again, Sarah Palin is the most intelligent voice on an issue. I can’t wait to hear her “State of the Union” speech in 3 1/2 years!
