Status: offline 		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.

I know what you mean.

The white race in America has suffered so much under this yoke of oppression that I can only ask when we can finally say we are:

"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty,
we are free at last!"

Why would we care where her parents took her for health care as a child?

Palin says her family went to Canada for health care when she was youngUpdated 12:32 p.m.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, a fierce opponent of Democratic health-care reform efforts who has said America under President Obama is headed toward socialism, told a Canadian audience her family used to go to Canada to get medical care when she was growing up.
"My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse. Believe it or not -- this was in the '60s -- we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn't that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada," Palin said a speech Saturday night, according to the Calgary Herald.
Palin spoke before a paying audience of 1,200 in Calgary, with tickets costing between $150 and $200, the Medicine Hat News of Medicine Hat, Alberta, reported.
Whitehorse, in the Yukon, Canada, is north of Skagway.
Palin has also told an alternate version of the story that had her family traveling south by ferry to Juneau from Skagway for treatment of her brother's burned foot, rather than to Canada, according to a 2007 report posted by the Skagway News.

Come on there are other reasons

A daughter from friends from my parents had to move there as her husband got placed there from the army...

in regards to healthcare that leaves me untouched, not because I am not from the US but because I do know many people these days who travel to other countries for some treatments...its not that uncommon and just because she is in the public eye does not mean that it makes more a difference to me then someone who isn't in the public eye.

I went to the UK some years ago to get something sorted I could not do back home and a colleague from me went to Germany as she was sure to receive a better service there then over here in the UK...its not that uncommon IMO

Yeah, it does make a difference when that person in "the public eye" is a politician who is vehemently opposed to a government-run health care system but saw nothing wrong in her family taking advantage of another country's public medical options.

We seriously need a sarcasm font, but I also think it came too close to the bone . I did wonder who would accuse me first tho, I wasnt disappointed, not even surprised
