Freshman GOPer Didn't Know Government Paid For Her Health Benefits | TPMDC


Buerkle, who voted to repeal the health care reform act, was twice asked about the health insurance she receives as a government employee. At first she said she couldn't understand why people were so interested in her health insurance, and that taxpayers didn't pay anything for it. She later corrected herself after being handed a note from a staffer. Like most employees, she pays for a portion of her insurance and her employer, the government, pays the rest, she said.

Why on earth does the left try to pretend that there is no difference between health insurance provided by the government for nothing and health insurance as provided in compensation for work?

Granted, Congress shouldnt get the benefits they get, but the two issues arent even apples and oranges. They are like apples and rocks.

"health insurance provided by the government for nothing"


No one even ever purposed this idea.

Why are you pretending anyone did?
