Palin: “We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada”

What a strange thing to say. From a writeup of a Sarah Palin speech in Alberta, heartland of the Canadian right-wing:

The vocal opponent of health care reform in the U.S. steered largely clear of the topic except to reveal a tidbit about her life growing up not far from Whitehorse.

“We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada,” she said. “And I think now, isn’t that ironic.”

She wasn’t rationed away? Her parents were’t sent to a death panel? She experienced socialized medicine and learned to tell the tell!

I do, however, appreciate that Palin deployed an Alanis shout-out during her visit to Canada.
