Rep. Dan Benishek (R-MI) didn't have a great deal of luck selling his snake oil in Saulte Sainte Marie, Michigan when about a dozen constituents called bullshit. Benishek, in his attempt to justify Ryan Paul's budget, makes the claim that “There are no government subsidies for oil” which of course is bullshit.
After turning to health care, he makes a false claim that
“We have the highest life spans in the world”
The folks quickly pointed out that the U.S had a much lower life expectancy than most countries with universal health coverage. As a matter of fact, the U.S. ranks 50th.
Benishek states “I don’t believe that’s true” . So, is this ignorance? Denial?
“How can you not know that, you’re a medical doctor?” a woman asked.
