Palin On American Medicine

On Facebook Sarah Palin writes:

“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,” the former Republican vice presidential candidate wrote.

Isn’t this the reason for health reform in the first place? Someone who lacks medical insurance because they lack a job is being judged on their level of productivity in society. Sarah Palin is not sophisticated enough to understand that, making her the perfect mouthpiece for the GOP; ignorant and pretty.
