Sarah Palin Right All Along

There is no doubt that health care costs are escalating. There are myriad reasons for this. To name a few, Americans are living longer, technology is increasing and the cost of drug research is rising.

National health care laws, where they exist, have produced rationing in order to treat the growing number of people who are covered. This is simple economics 101. The more you have to cover, the greater the cost. If costs are to be reduced, you need to reduce the number.

Remember Sarah Palin? The media had quite a day when she mentioned death panels, when the country was debating national health care under President Obama. Well now we have national health care - and guess what? New York Times columnist Paul Krugman addressed the subject of escalating health care costs. He stated on ABC's This Week, "Some years down the pike we're going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sales taxes." In fact, Mr. Krugman has written 19 columns mentioning death panels. Almost all of them have been smug. He has spoken previously of "death panel smear" and "death panel lie" and "the death panel people" as being part of a lunatic fringe.

Well, well, well. It seems as if Mr. Krugman came clean on ABC. His other 19 columns were apparently just a clever smoke screen in order to get health care passed. I think he's wanted death panels from the start. I wonder if he knows about eugenics?

Sarah Palin was right. National health care is wrong. National health care will economically and morally break the back of this country.
