Court documents reveal Palin's grandson uses socialized medicine.

For someone who once generated a national hysteria by claiming socialized medicine would bring about government-run "death panels" that would kill the elderly and children with mental defects, Sarah Palin seems remarkably calm, what with her grandson now facing the very same allegedly tyrannical construct, that is.

Yes, that's right: Sarah Palin, Alaska's former governor and a millionaire thanks to sales of her book, has a grandson whose health care is paid for by the federal government, according to newly released court documents.

The revelation was made in court documents filed Feb. 16, relating to the child support battle between Bristol Palin and Levi Jonson, available here [PDF link] courtesy of E! Online.

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care," Palin wrote on her Facebook page in mid-August. "Such a system is downright evil."

Her diatribe was actually a twisted interpretation of end of life care, a provision that would have paid for patients' counseling with doctors and attorneys on what they wish to be done on their behalf after death -- but that didn't stop Republicans the nation over from repeating the claim ad nauseam, seemingly undeterred by its transparent inaccuracy.

So far, that system of "downright evil" has provided comprehensive medical care for her grandson Tripp, paid for with federal dollars from the Indian Health Service.

Arguing that Johnson had not paid health insurance premiums for his son, lawyers for Palin's daughter wrote that exemptions claimed by Johnson's attorneys were invalid due to Tripp's health coverage by the IHS. The claim can be found on page eight of the court documents.

Nice try but - no cigar

First of all, Palin isn't responsible for everything that her daughter does any more than you are for yours.

Second, what's she supposed to do?

a. Cover her grandson on her insurance? She can't.

b. Undertake to pay whatever medical bills a child might incur? Not even a "millionaire" could or would do so.

Third, a lot of what Palin has made has been eaten up by the personal legal bills she had to incur fighting off the phony complaints filed against her by Democrats while she was governor - over $500,000.

Fourth, Palin's "death panel" observations had nothing to do with existing programs like the Indian Health Service. They were SPECIFIC observations about OBAMACARE proposals, and (here's the problem for you) she was right.

Fifth, court documents won't show whatever money Palin might have given to her daughter to help with the support of the grandson - including possibly cash for clinic co-pays or whatever. Anyone who knows even the slightest thing about Sarah would probably bet she's given her daughter plenty to help out.

So, you lose your nickel because you just tossed an air ball. Ante up another one and you can try again.

The half-gov's grandchild cannot be put on her insurance. The cost is too expensive to pay personally. How dare you. He should go without if they are too cheap to pay for it. I am tired of the freeloaders in this country. We must defend democracy and fight SOCIALISM even if it means sacrificing our children!!!!! greater cause. P.S. cudya cut down on the folksy "ball-nickle-ante up" flourishes? I am sure your Grammar teacher appreciated them back in the 40s but they are rather jarring now.
