Ehehehhehe. Good find.

She was a kid at the time. You got that, right?
I am sure that plenty of Canadian and American in kind find themselves useing the other system at times.
Who the fuck cares... and they call this news. What no earthquakes today??
EDIT: sorry, there was a 2.9 earthquake in Petrolia, CA - run for the hills, it the end of the world.
Palin's family hopped borders to use a social welfare system they didn't pay into. By their own party's current standards, they're no different than filthy Mexicans.
...and you're a racist asswipe. WTF dude?

...The Yukon Territories didn't even have nationalized health care until the 70s.

So did Danny. They can't bitch when we use their health care when they use ours.

Different complaints. Proximity to care is not the same thing as superior care. And to what extent is a five year old responsible for something that happened to her brother over 30 years ago? And when did she bitch about Canadians using American Doctors? Is 5 year old Sarah now also responsible for every comment made by every American in the health care debate?
Pretty petty, if you ask me.

Not different at all. Proximity is exactly the reason Danny boy went abroad. Not wanting to wait is the other and neither is a reasonable argument against Canadian health care. Privatization will only exacerbate proximity problems and wait times might be shortened for the few who can pay larger premiums but be extended to "Can't afford it" to many others.
She isn't responsible what her family did when she was a child that's correct. She is responsible for her reprehensible and disparaging remarks about our health care system when her parents were a direct beneficiary of it.

They weren't bitching, more like stating "See! If so and so leader comes here, when he can get it free for there, there must be something wrong with their oh so touted system!"

Which remarks were those? What exactly is Sarah supposed to have said?

Eh, what? Not wanting to wait was why Danny Williams went to MIAMI instead of waiting to get his treatment (which was available in Canada, probably in Toronto though, or another major city). He has the money, and he should have every right to get the best health care available. Nobody, at least, not in the US, has an issue with people coming to the US to get health care (Actually, I'm sure they tout it as why it's the best system ever). Proximity is not why, since there was probably a closer facility in Canada, or heck, in New York state that he could have used.
Is that the one? Is that the "reprehensible, disparaging remark" you're talking about? I saw that one. This comedienne dressed in a goofy Newfie outfit follows Palin onto the bus and shouts questions to her as she boards. Palin goofs an answer back at her.
Honestly...this just get sillier and sillier. Faux lefty outrage is silly.

Same thing. They were spouting partisan hack comments about Canadian health care without any true understanding of what it is designed to do. Canadians go south to get quicker treatment and Americans go north (or south to Mexico) simply to be able to afford to get care.
