CPAC 2016-2019: on Health Care


Sarah Palin: Young people are ObamaCare suckers: they must pay the bill

It's pretty cool to see some of the College Republicans sitting down here. There are always so many young people, or, as you're known by the folks [in Washington DC], 'ObamaCare suckers.' Yep, you are the ones who pay the bills in our brave new world. They forgot that when they said that you were the change that you were waiting for. Turns out, you have the change that they're waiting for. You have the change, you have the fives, you have the tens, and twenties.

Last year, our fellow Americans had decided, evidently, to double-down on hopey-changey. But then, something happened, that 'hope and change' went from a catchy campaign slogan to a reality, and along the way, 'yes we can,' it became 'no you can't, no, you can't log on to the website, no you can't keep your health care.'

Americans know now: there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. There is no free birth control. There's no free doctor visits. Someone always pays, and if you don't know who that someone is, it's probably you.

Sarah Palin: Ode to Dr. Seuss: I do not like his health care scam

Senator Ted Cruz' filibuster, it worked in waking people up to the folly of a government take-over of 1/6 of our economy. Ted Cruz had a clever way of doing it, too. Dr. Seuss, who'd a thunk? I have five kids so reading Green Eggs and Ham over all those years, you know, you totally have it memorized. For my little Trig, for his bedtime story, now it goes something like this:Hat tip the internet. I saw a couple of lines on the internet on that, and I winged the other ones.

Tim Scott: I don't want to know how many calories are on my pizza

By limiting the government, we empower the people. We don't need the big government and ObamaCare choosing our doctors, do we? We don't need ObamaCare forcing pizza places to tell us how many calories are on our pizza, do we? Do we really want to know? I'm not sure about you, but I don't want to know how many calories are on my pizza. When I eat my Haagen Dazs ice cream, I want to enjoy those 1,292 calories, and alllllll 100 grams of fat, in once sitting.
