Palin: I sneaked to Canada for healthcare

By Eric Zimmermann - 03/08/10 11:33 AM ET

Sarah Palin's family used to "hustle" across the Canadian border to get healthcare, the former Alaska governor said this weekend.

In a speech in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Palin called it "ironic" that while growing up in a small Alaskan town near the Canadian border, her family used to sneak across the border to take advantage of the Canadian healthcare system.

"We used to hustle over the border for healthcare we received in Canada," she said, according to Medicine Hat News (via Dave Weigel.) "And I think now, 'Isn't that ironic?' "

It's ironic, of course, because Palin and other Republicans have argued that Democratic healthcare reform will put the U.S. on the path toward Canada's "socialized" healthcare system.
