Congresswoman: "There are no Americans who don't have health care"

Seriously, some idiot really said that.

And believe it or not, she's a member of Congress! (Then again, knowing the morons who've peopled Congress the past 15 years, who's surprised?)

At a press conference held by right-wing members of Congress on Friday, fascist Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-North Carolina) said the greed-driven American health care system is fine and dandy, and scoffed at any attempt to reform it.

Almost 50,000,000 Americans lack any health insurance at all. A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that almost half of American households skipped necessary health care in the previous year because of the price. The Urban Institute estimated in 2006 that there were 22,000 American adults dead just in one year because they couldn't afford health care.

But facts are lost in the crazy world of Virginia Foxx.

At this press conference, the Church Lady look-alike declared, "There are no Americans who don't have health care. Everybody in this country has access to health care."

This isn't a misprint. She actually said that.

Of course, Bush said nearly the same thing in 2007 - to much ridicule.

Then again, the Bushists are the same people who think climate change and the recession aren't real.

At least Virginia Foxx didn't say America's health care crisis is "really a hoax" - huh, Virginia?
