ANCHORAGE, Alaska — When Gov. Sarah Palin said during the vice presidential debate Thursday that her family has gone through periods where they’ve been uninsured and she understands what it’s like for Americans “to sit around the kitchen table and tr ... Continue reading »

    Apparently they are worried that their health insurance would drop Bristol if she and her teenage boyfriend actully bothered to get married BEFORE she has her baby. Like so many unwed pregnant teens, the choices are 1) have an illegitmate child on your parents' insurance or 2) have a legitimate child with either no insurance or medicaid.

    3) Have a legal abortion which is also still a choice in this country.

    Right, but if she gets elected, it won't be a choice for long.

    How surprising, life long Social medicine recipient McCain chooses another social medicine recipient, thus making it easy to keep from feeling the real financial pain those of us who pay the legal racketeers in the for profit health care insurance protection scheme to continue to shill for what is little more than a legalized "protection racket" that demands your payment every month, but does squat for you.

    She also had a husband with a union job at BP, so great insurance there.

    Nothing she says is true.

    If you support Barack Obama and Joe Biden and you are tired of all of the republican lies, smear capaigns and want the truth visit. There is detailed information on the Keating 5, McSames record, Palin and the Alaskan Independence Party, Palin and the witch doctor (seriously) and much much more.

    Another Republican who covertly uses the system but calls it "welfare" or "handouts' for anyone else. Calls Obama a socialist when all he wants to do is ensure 44 million Americans have access to healthcare like the Palin family. Makes me sick to my stomach. Bristol's baby will be paid for too. Palin has proved she's another GOP liar. Send this woman packing back to AK.

    Palin has proved time and again that she is a pathological liar through and through. Palin has a talent of telling lies without blinking. McCAIN-2008: FIGHTING AGAINST McCAIN-2000. PALIN: PROMISED OPENNESS BUT SECRETIVE IN GOVERNMENT. GAMBLE OUR COUNTRY WITH TWO DIVISIVE, RECKLESS MAVERICKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

    I'm glad to see that other folks think Sarah Palin is a pathological liar. The question is, how do we get this word out to the uncommitted voters? Not only is she a pathological liar, she is just plain out and out a sociopath. No one with a social conscience would be playing the dirty politics of the past weekend, spouting racial and political untruths that incite fanatical devotees to riot - and believe me, it's getting to that. When a black cameraman is jibed by the crowd for just doing his job, that's a sure sign that if this woman keeps up with her poisonous agenda, the riots will follow, of a magnitude we haven't seen since the days of George Wallace. McCain's political greed and ambition linked with lack of good judgement that allowed him to name this power-hungry monster as his running mate have already begun to visit ruin on our country, regardless of whether they are elected or not. I can only hope that enough voters are clear-minded enough to see the truth and keep these two imposters out of the White House.

    Yeah... health care that tells you to go home and let your immune system handle your aches and pains... If that dont work, then they tell you to goto Wal-Mart and purchase tylenol. My nephew went to an IHS Hospital to get his wisdom tooth removed and ended up losing both his kidneys... Thats what federal health care is.

    A big Giant YEAH! The IHS in Phoenix is a big bureaucracy. The halls smells, the TV's are so old the people on the screens are "green". We wait for hours and hours for medical care not matter how sick we are. And then we have to deal with impolite staff and doctors who don't know what they are doing---like almost doing an internal procedure on me when my INR was above 5.0 (This means bleeding to death!!!! duh).

    Isn't this the same person who has reportedly referred to the Inuit as 'Arctic Arabs' when she called them 'whiners' about protesting the destruction of their homes, hunting, fishing, and environment by Big Oil intent on drilling, strip mining, or running a pipeline through the last habitable wild spaces on the planet? The same 'Big Oil' she supports pillaging ANWAR? I guess she and the First Dude are pretty well set, whether they get free medical care or not. I guess 'fishing' pays a lot better in Alaska then it does in the lower 48, especially when you are married to the Governor.

    I would be appalled to find out that the Palins use the Indian Health Service with the income they have. So many Native people are in dire need of medical care and do not have private insurance to treat their medical needs. Todd Palin is 1/8 Yup'ik plus more Native? So, he and his children could qualify for IHS even though he has an outrageous income compared to other Native people. Shame on the Palins for abusing the IHS if they have used, abused the IHS system!
