Hold your laughter! DeLay said ‘No American Is Denied Health Care In America.’



Thinkprogress:

Speaking in the UK on Thursday, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) predicted that if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, he or she would seek to install a universal health care, similar to the system in Britain. This possibility “received thunderous applause.”

DeLay claimed that, under the U.S. system, “no American is denied health care”:

By the way, there’s no one denied health care in America. There are 47 million people who don’t have health insurance, but no American is denied health care in America.

Obviously, the BIG part he left out is that many Americans cannot AFFORD health care.

Well, here we go, DeLay is just outright WRONG.

Yeah, apparently the Hammer didn't read the latest on Healthnet. Yup, most folks can't afford health care because the doctors are forced to increase fees because of high premium cost. DeLay is out of touch of reality. I am sure his healthcare plan is working for him.
