Palin Warns Again of 'Rationed' Care

Abortion mindset could be applied to elderly and disabled, she says

Share

(Newser) – She didn't use the term "death panel," but Sarah Palin kept up her criticism of "rationed" care for the elderly and disabled last night. In a speech to abortion opponents, Palin warned that the same philosophy that allows abortions could be applied to those two groups with dangerous consequences. Especially, she said, if health care reform puts a "panel of bureaucrats" in charge, reports Politico.

“What may they feel about an elderly person who doesn’t have a whole lot of productive years left? In order to save government money, government health care has to be rationed," she said. "Do you think our elderly will be first in line for limited health care? ... And what about the child who perhaps isn’t deemed normal or perfect?" Palin is getting ready for a publicity tour for her soon-to-be-released book, Going Rogue.

I'd use the old line about this woman being dangerous if she had a brain--but, in truth, she's more dangerous without one. Reply

I wish this clueless bimbo would simply STFU. She has absolutely NOTHING to contribute to the Healthcare Reform debate, NHS or anything else for that manner. She NEVER finishes anything she starts, speaks in incoherent / incomplete sentences, no sense of geography, global politics and has hideous grammar. She's a master of nothing... Just look at her transcripts.

I have to laugh at the people who listen to or respect Palin. It's obvious her own daughter didn't or Palin wouldn't be a bastard's grandmother; and she and her husband didn't listen to intelligent medical advice that shows the chances of having a Downs birth from a mother over the age of 35 is better than 1 in 20. What is she? God? She could overcome the probabilities or was she just stupid. Don't waste time answering that. She's just a stupid twit whose own daughter laughs at her.

I love how Sarah Palin makes leftists turn into angry, raving lunatics. God Bless Sarah Palin, our next president in 2012.
