Palin: Healthcare Repeal Is 'RINO-Care'

Former half-term Alaska governor Sarah Palin has contemptuously dismissed as "socialized medicine" the proposed American Health Care Act, or AHCA, a bill that amends the Affordable Care Act signed into law by former president Barack Obama in 2009. “I don’t know why we’re still even giving an inch on aspects of socialized medicine via this new RINO-care proposal," Palin told Breitbart News in an interview published on Saturday. "Is that okay with conservatives, with Republicans in office?" Palin called on President Donald Trump to "step in and fix" the legislation, "so we know what the difference is between Obamacare and RINO-Care." RINO is an acronym for "Republican In Name Only," a popular intra-party insult meant to indicate insufficient conservatism.

Palin Slams GOP Health Care Bill

In an interview with Breitbart, Sarah Palin slammed House Republicans’ healthcare proposal, predicting that President Trump “will step in an fix it.”

Palin began her interview dubbing the bill “RINO-care” and saying it still had aspects of “socialism” about it.

Said Palin: “Remember this is government-controlled healthcare, the system that requires enrollment in an unaffordable, unsustainable, unwanted, unconstitutional continuation of government-run medicine, and even in this new quasi-reformed proposal, there is still an aspect of socialism,” said Palin, a Trump ally. That’s the whole premise here.”

He'll be covered by Medicaid plus whatever she gets for him. He is at an advantage because they can afford to establish a Special Needs/Supplemental Nees Trust for him. But not everyone can be John McCain's ignorant tea party running mate. She has no compassion.
