Palin Used Canadian Health Care

Despite months of beating the drum against President Obama’s health-care plan—warning the country not to take that step into socialism—Sarah Palin admitted over the weekend that she’s been on the receiving end of nationalized health care. After all, growing up in Alaska, it was right there over the Canadian border. Speaking in Calgary, Palin said that her family routinely went to Canada for medical reasons. “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,” Palin said Saturday. “Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada.”
