I think Sarah Palin is looking for a career as a spokesperson for a private, for-profit health care system.
She says so in so many words to Canadian Mary Walsh at a recent book signing:
“Canada needs to dismantle its public health-care system and allow private enterprise to get involved and turn a profit.”
["Let's cut the guts out of it"]
Profits are king to Queen Palin but she’d make a terrible nurse. She can't even take the pulse of the majority of Americans as it concerns the US health-care system.
According to a 2009 Canadian health care consumer survey, when Canadians and Americans were asked if their health care system deserved an A or a B, 43% of Canadians said yes, but only 21% of Americans said yes.
In other words, 79% of US citizens would give their health-care system a C or worse.
When asked if they believe that 50-plus per cent of health spending is wasted, 15% of Canadian said yes, but 52% of Americans said yes.
In other words, Canadians sound a lot - a lot - more satisfied than Americans when it comes to their health-care systems.
Nonetheless, Palin would be a great spokesperson for private, for-profit health care in the US because she ignores the majority of US citizens, just as private health-care providers do.
Why, they’re made for each other.

I just hope Palin doesn’t go fishing for work in Canada!

They are made for each other for sure. Sarah scares the beejeebers out of me.
Hi bobbie,
I do wonder where she'll end up.
