Out-of-Context Hit Piece PING!!!!!!!
I call CFOOWC.
Complete Fabrication Out Of Whole Cloth.
Evidence????
If you have twitter, ask Sarah herself (@SarahPalinUSA)
She should not have disclosed that. The MSM will lap that up, as it sounds favorable to 0s health care take-over plan.
Sounds like Sarah is developing Biden-itis: The gift for gaffs, aka being a loose canon.
A rational person living in Upperville, which practices a free market economy, where a can of beans costs the end consumer $1.00, will rationally travel over the border to Lowerville, which practices a socialist economy, to buy a can of beans which there cost the end consumer only $0.50, as all citizens of Lowerville contribute to the cost of that can of beans.
This may or may not have been the motivation of Palin’s family, 40 years ago, where geography and distance, as well as national health systems, were a factor.
Let’s have a full accounting of what Obama did in his first five years of life. Did he ever receive healthcare anywhere outside the US? How about schooling?
I wonder if Sarah paid for the hospital bill for her own birth... or did she mooch off her parents or something for that???
At five years old, she was a child and had no control of where she went for medical care. I smell something fishy about this article.
How did Sarah’s parents get health care on the Canadian system without citizenship? I am sure some form of I.D. was required and that would have ended it.
>> Palin: “We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada,”
So Canadians were paying health costs for those of other nations?
Obamacare will pass.
It's pretty clear that Sarah Palin did make the statement (to a Canadian audience) about her parents taking her little brother over the border to Canada for emergency medical treatment and that this was a common procedure for their Alaska-based family some 40 years ago, prior to Canada's adopting a full-fledged socialized health care system. I'm sure her audience understood the irony Palin referred to because today, Canadians often cross the border into the U.S. for health care due to the socialized heath care system in Canada being sub-par.
I see the early denials and deep suspicion of the veracity of the Palin quote by Palin supporters stemming from the left's longrunning, incessant attempts to smear Sarah Palin and demean her in the eyes of the general public because she is clearly a popular political personality that is a real threat to the left. Sure, a few Palin supporters were a bit too strident in their disbelief but that is understandable considering the attacks on Palin that have occured for the past 18 months. So, another non-story about Sarah Palin and it generates well over 300 posts - including this one. Amazing.
Obviously lots jave read the original article by now but I’m providing the link to the Washington Post article.

Seems as if it was a closer commute in time of emergency to get her brother medical attention in Canada but more disturbing, is that she seems to have told a completely different version in 2007 whereby her brother is taken to Juneau for care. (That story is linked to in the Post piece). Not a good time to divert attention from Obama’s push.
She said it...I don’t see why people here are so quick to go nuts claiming it is a Marxist plot and she didn’t say it...starting to sound like the Obummer cult
So she used to hustle across for Canadian Health care did she. I’m surprised she’s not still in the waiting room waiting for her turn to come up. It’s a Canadian tradition. Take a number, die waiting.
