No Medicaid does suck, but I guess we are stuck with it because no politician in ther right mind can go against an entitlement and get elected. Once you hand the sorriest of society free stuff they never want to give it back.

well I wish you could absorb the irony, thats my point...
It is not like she has been for such ideas, or even not engaged in the issue.
However Sarah has been a key player in discrediting the merits of government healthcare.
Bristol Palin Launching PR Firm?

That's what MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported last night, after digging up documents that Bristol Palin has filed paperwork for a new "lobbying, public relations, and political consulting services" company, BSMP LLC. Her full name is Bristol Sharon Marie Palin.
According to Palin's lawyer, "The code for BSMP, LLC pertains to several areas but includes public relations. Bristol Palin provides public relations services and is currently an ambassador for the Candie's Foundation."
The Candie's Foundation is a pro-abstinence organization. As Maddow noted, "Bristol Palin has essentially set herself up to be paid as an incorporated entity as opposed to being paid as an individual and that's sort of a common choice people make when they have money coming in from various sources like this."

Bristol Palin's New Company: BSMP LLC, Public Relations Firm (VIDEO)On Rachel Maddow's show Tuesday night, Maddow dug into some curious paperwork filed in Alaska last September by the 19-year-old Bristol Palin, daughter of Sarah, mother of Tripp. The paperwork established Bristol Palin as the organizer of a new company called BSMP LLC. (BSMP is Palin's initials: Bristol Sharon Marie Palin).
According to the paperwork, the company "intends to provide lobbying, public relations, and political consulting services."
From Maddow's report:
[Palin's Lawyer] finally got back to us late this evening. He told us in an E-mail, quote, "The code for BSMP, LLC pertains to several areas but includes public relations. Bristol Palin provides public relations services and is currently an ambassador for the Candie`s Foundation.
The Candie`s Foundation is a pro-abstinence organization. Bristol Palin has essentially set herself up to be paid as an incorporated entity as opposed to being paid as an individual and that`s sort of a common choice people make when they have money coming in from various sources like this.
So BSMP, LLC, may just be a pretty smart financial decision by a very astute 19-year-old, or Bristol Palin is about to launch a lobbying and consultancy firm to run her mom`s 2012 presidential campaign. Theoretically possible, but probably not.

and yet.....how many times have the conservatives on these boards tried to tell us all that we should be begging our families for help with our obnoxious healthcare bills???
Even so, so what, her daughter is like many other young mothers in this country (probably alot more than you think), they are getting their kids healthcare subsidized through gov't programs. Have you look at the cost of insuring those kids on your own???
Now, if one were to find out that her and ex-boyfriend still have a thing going, but well, they found out while they were planning their marriage that they just couldn't afford to be married, with a kid.....so they opted to take this route. I'd have more to say!!!

I've gotten pretty numb to news over time and I rarely get emotional about it anymore, but this story really ticks me off.
This retarded woman has a freaking army of retards hanging on her every retarded word and what does she tell them? That government insurance is going to kill old people and her retarded kid, when in reality, government funded insurance is paying for her grandson's healthcare. The real bummer is that her retarded followers would have benefited most from a public option because they obviously don't have any kind of education if they believe that garbage she spews and thus don't have jobs that pay for health insurance.
Oh, and Levi and Bristol must have been retarded off drugs when they named that kid. Hence the name Tripp.
(Oh and it's okay that I use the word retard because it's "satire")

Grandson....I don't think it's a big deal.
Sarah Palin pays more than her fair share of taxes to cover this.
It's the ones that don't contribute and keep having kids that I worry about.

Your source is wrong, your didn't check, and this thread is a lie and a HOAX.

This is no more "socialized medicine" than the Mayo Institute, Kaiser Foundation, or any other service consortia.
Did you stop to think that maybe the attorneys might be "fudging" the truth? Why can't Levi Johnston face his obligations like a man? Is it because he's a social parasite?
The entirety of the BBNA's HHS "funding" is for these specific programs, none of which are for infant or mother's medical care as found in the Annual Report (if you bothered to look and check your obviously-biased sources):

You should be ashamed for spreading slander and trash, but that's what many come here for, isn't it?
Deny ignorance.

It was only a matter of time before someone called this story a hoax. Congratulations for being the first.

Arguing that someone is a hypocrite for using a service they pay for at gun point, while arguing against having their money taken at gun point, is ridiculous.
I guess we could call politicians that support voucher programs hypocrites for using the public school system.
I guess we could call politicians that support eliminating corn subsidies hypocrites for eating corn.
I guess we could call politicians that want the fed destroyed hypocrites for accepting pay in federal reserve notes.
I'd wager Palin has paid more into that system than 99% of Alaskan's.

Secondly, the current medicaid system is not the same as what is being proposed: Forced health insurance purchased by the citizen.
