Palin calls
Dems Healthcare
Plan “Evil”
Cites Threat
To Trig

Describing Democratic
healthcare plans as “evil,”
Sarah Palin is warning that
the proposals being debated
in Washington could threaten
the life of Trig,
her Down Syndrome
infant boy.
Palin,
in her first policy statement since
resigning as Alaska governor,
wrote on her Facebook page
Friday afternoon that the sick,
elderly and disabled would suffer
should healthcare be rationed,
as conservatives claim it
will with a public option.
“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,”
Palin wrote.
“Such a system
is downright evil.”
Palin also cited the recent
floor speech of conservative
Rep. Michele Bachmann,
which the former governor said “highlighted the Orwellian
thinking of the president’s
health care advisor,
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel,
the brother of the White House
chief of staff.”
With no political
organization to speak of,
Palin is increasingly sending
messages out on Facebook.
This is at least the third message
she’s posted on the popular social networking site since she
announced in July that
she would resign.
