Palin Leaves Behind Mismanaged AK Health Care System - Hundreds Die Waiting For Care

Wow... now that fits the pattern. Accuse others of exactly what you are guilty of.


Go figure....

As much as the MSM loves to crucify Palin, why isn't this all over the national news? I'm not trying to be smarmy, but is this the only source you have?

edit to add: It's innocent until proven guilty. Have criminal charges been brought against her?

Oh boy, where to begin with this big pile of garbage.

First of all, the story you cite is clearly biased because they link to the original article and the original article does not even mention Palin.

Here is the original article:
Troubled Alaska health programs face federal restriction

Secondly, Palin did not initiate these programs. These were in place well before she got into office and while she did clean up a lot of the mess, she cannot do everything.

Thirdly, Since these program the article mentions have been around for awhile, it is disingenuous to say they are a GOP program which again reflects my first point.

4th: Let's take a closer look at the original article and NOT the biased one you cited.



Wow
This is really a medicaid federal program. The person who controls the money controls the laws and regulation.

The article states: Individuals qualify based on income and need.

Welcome to Obamacare people with the rationing of healthcare!! This is what will happen nation wide if Obamacare becomes law.

You just made the argument against the current healthcare bill. THANKS!! I realize your intention was to demean Palin for no reason, but in your zest and bias, you mistakenly argued against your own point of view and helped your opponents. Good job! Funny!! Brilliant!!

Ugh. Never mind. It's a completely biased blog. Not news at all.

I'm trying to find where adn is getting these stats.

My sentiments exactly. I get so tired of people posting garbage like this as factual, when in reality, it's nothing but smear.

Read the above article ...

So far as I can see no AK official is contesting the numbers or the problem. They are just saying they will try to do better.

Atleast he stated what he thought about her before trying to blast her.

Oh well, people see Palin in an article that says bad stuff and rarely finish it or research it before posting it on ATS.

I expected as much from Hunka, but expected a little more from an ATS mod.

Edit to correct a mistake. I mistaken a forum mod for a super mod. Don't hold it against me.

Did you even read the original article I posted above?

Did you?

This plan has been around a lot longer than Palin but let's take a closer look at the original article:

I read it.

Instead of rehashing what has already been said I will direct you to the post written by WhatTheory.

No need to be confused. Just tell me what you don't get by what I wrote and I will do my best to ease your confusion.

edit to add-

WhatTheory took it on himself to rehash. Its posted twice, hope that helps your confusion a little better.

So let me get this straight ...

I give you and WT $61 to buy dinner, you tack on another $39, and it's my fault when you starve to death?

Oh dear ...

Oh and jd, who's this supermod you're referring to?

[edit on 13 Aug 2009 by schrodingers dog]

The first thing that strikes me, about this story, is that it is more evidence that government is not capable of effectively administering a health care program.

Also, if you follow the link, on the original source, to the original article

www.adn.com...

you will find this paragraph:

From 12/1994 to 12/2002, the Alaskan Governor, Tony Knowles(D) and from 12/2002 to 12/2006, Governor Frank Murkowski (R), controlled the purse strings.

This appears to suggest Governor Palin 'inherited' the problem, rather than being accountable. It, also, appears both political parties can share the blame.

Wow the dems must really be in fear of Sarah Palins potential to grab the White House. They have to try to tie her to some mess that existed long before she arrived. When will all the lies and fear mongering of the Dems ever end.

Try a person who owns 61% of something has controlling ownership of that buisness.

Whoever has controlling ownership is at fault when that company goes bankrupt. But as with all things that goes bad, crap rolls downhill.

edit to add-

You are right, it wasn't a super mod. Just a forum mod.

I will edit my mistake accordingly.

Article above was read. The operative words are "Alaskan officials". No matter how anyone tries to justify it, it's a clear attack on Palin. Otherwise, his title would've mentioned Alaskan officials. The appropriate title should have been from the original article.

I agree, both sides could use a little less sensationalism these days ...

It dilutes the debate and nothing is achieved.

Perhaps that is intentional no?

This was confusing. I had accidentally 'ignored' a poster and was missing part of the dialogue. Excuse me.

Couldn't agree more! Cooler heads prevail, but they seem to be nowhere in attendance these days.
