Single Payer Health Care For Our Overlords, Aspirin For Us

Sarah Palin's 2008 State of the State Address to 25th Alaska Legislature Jan 15, 2008:
"So when government provides education and job training, every able-bodied Alaskan is expected to work and not simply rely on government to provide. Let’s take personal responsibility in all areas of life--including health."

Court documents reveal Palin’s grandson uses socialized medicine

"For someone who once generated a national hysteria by claiming socialized medicine would bring about government-run "death panels" that would kill the elderly and children with mental defects, Sarah Palin seems remarkably calm, what with her grandson now facing the very same allegedly tyrannical construct, that is.
Yes, that's right: Sarah Palin, Alaska's former governor and
a millionaire thanks to sales of her book, has a grandson whose health care is paid for by the federal government, according to newly released court documents."

this has nothing to do w/palin's hypocrisy. however it is a comment on hypocrisy.

one thing i've yet to understand is how those who are so appalled at the idea of a single payer system are not equally as appalled at the fact that gov't employees enjoy a single payer system - the taxpayer being the payer. the way i see it is simple: we pay for their health care, they can pay for ours.
