What exactly are we supposed to be "thinking"? People get health benefits with their jobs.. No thinking involved with that.. its a fact. The irony is that the left is asking for governmental healthcare for all, while wanting to deny this same "right" to someone who is working for the government..

So, everyone without health insurance is unemployed?

My advice to him is just what he's planning to tell everyone else: Tough it out and hope you don't get sick.

They do? I'm sure that's news to the millions of working American's without health insurance available through their employers.

How long have you been out of the work force?

Palin's grandson DOES use these services, according to court documents.

"Because the majority of Tripp's health care costs are already covered by the IHS and the Alaska Native Medical Center, Mr. Johnston has no need to purchase additional health insurance and this deduction should not be allowed," the attorneys said in a court filing.

I have absolutely nothing against nationalized health insurance (such as Medicare, Medicaid, potential Universal Health Insurance for ALL HR676) like the rest of the democracies of the world , Sarah Palin does.

This is another example how inefficient government is. If you are hire for a private company and health care is part of the packet, you get the benefit the day you start, not a month later.
