Sarah Palin via FaceBook: Statement on the Current Health Care Debate
As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.
We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back. Ronald Reagan once wrote, “Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.” Let’s stop and think and make our voices heard before it’s too late.

Sarah Palin objected to the media “making things up” only days before she issued her attack on healthcare reform. For someone who objects to the truth being distorted and then circulated, she seems to have no trouble in circulation such deception herself. The current, proposed reform does ask that Medicare pay for a living will, if desried, butit is voluntary there is no “death Panel” ; euthansia is not part of it!
If she objects to things being “made up” why does she participate in that very thing? Scare tactics and deception ae also evil and destructive!
Talk about hypocrisy, Sara Palin in her farewell address said the media should start “telling the truth”. However, now it is Palin not telling the truth when she says that Obama’s health plan would set up “death panels”. There is NOTHING remotely like that being proposed. So, someone needs to call her out and ask her why she is lying. I suspect she will not avail herself to any questions in which she has to think on her feet.
Go get em Sarah, you are one in a million and I can’t wait to vote for you. Thanx, and keep the faith.
Sarah Palin continues to prove that she is the real deal. Despite all the ludicris attacks against her and her family, she has remained a CLASS ACT! I’m looking forward to voting for her in 2012 for President - if she decides to run. In the meantime, I’ll keep an ear open for when she speaks publicly.
Go Sarah!
