Palin's trip to Canada for health care

You've heard she went to Canada for health care when she was a child and this proves what a hypocrite she is. Did you hear the correction? Didn't think so. That was the closest hospital and it wasn't socialized yet. Over at Politico:

CORRECTION: Whitehorse is in Yukon, not Saskatchewan, and Palin, as a young child, lived closer to itthan earlier reported.
UPDATE: Here's some more context: "My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse. Believe it or not - this was in the '60s - we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn't that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada."
ALSO: Socialized medicine apparently only kicked in in Yukon in 1972, post-Palin.
