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.

I actually love this statement here. Sunchine was defending the idea that Sarah Palin's grandson was on socialized medicine and favors it, sees nothing wrong with it. As a matter of fact, the same thing is going on with Palin's husband who's tribe is eligible for the same benefits. So in essence, Sunchine is a Palin supporter.
So, Sunchine continues his effort by downgrading socialized medicine (The very thing that Palin is against) in the process by saying, "Once you hand the sorriest of society free stuff, they never want to give it back."
Wait...back up. Did anyone catch that??? Who are the people that Sunchine is describing or referring to as the sorriest??? I'll answer that for you...It would have to be Sarah Palin's Grandson, and her Husband because they are the one's who are on "Socialized Healthcare." He literally just called the Palin's the "sorriest of society."
Well Sunchine...that's where you and I are in total agreement. Ouch.
Does anyone else see the irony in that???

Indian Health Services Overview:
The Indian Health Service (IHS) makes comprehensive health care services available to nearly 2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) who are members of 562 federally recognized Tribes. Direct health care services are administered through a nation-wide system of 12 Area offices and 161 IHS and tribally managed service units. Overall, over 50% of the IHS budget authority appropriation is administered by Tribes, primarily through Self-Determination contracts or Self-Governance compacts.

That's the frustrating point. Socialized groups/organizations doesn't = handouts to lazy people. Which, those mostly of the far right, claim it does. Socialism is basically a group of people banding together for their common good in some form or another. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Federal Government. Everyone of us is currently enjoying some form of socialism in our lives. It's human nature. The old..."a group is stronger than the individual".
