Well, I’ve heard stupid things said before, but this takes the cake.
Media Matters: O’Reilly’s Fuzzy Canadian Health Care Math
And then some wonder why some Americans are totally lost when it comes to doing simple things, like arithmetic. Life expectancy isn’t based on the fact they have 10x as many people, or we have 10x fewer. If it were, then obviously things are much worse here if our life expectancies are similar or we’d live 10x as long up here. Maybe in O’Reilly’s universe Canadians should be living 1000 years or so but our lives are cut short by our friggin’ winters!
Honestly, whenever O’Reilly speaks I’m always reminded of that line from “Rush Hour”: Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? And all I can say is “No. We’ve not been scheduled for our lobotomies, so no.”
