Count another fan of the Canadian health care model:  Sarah Palin. In this interview, she says she used to “hustle over the border” for health care in Canada. I guess she wasn’t worried about the death panels over there because, well, they would be Canadians. She says her preference for health-care options up north is “ironic.” I can think of a few other words.

For the record, I have been an opponent of the various Democratic healthcare initiatives partly because I think they don’t go far enough, and partly because I can’t stomach the idea of the U.S. government forcing you to buy something, as I discussed here. But (speaking of stomaches) now I’m having second thoughts because Rush Limbaugh has promised to leave the U.S. if this passes. As of today, count me as a strident supporter.
