New Congresswoman Ann Buerkle didn't know taxpayers paid for her health insurance...oh, it's her employer benefits. That's okay then..?

Wanna know how stupid our recently expanded contingent of TeaPublicans are? Check out this a repeal Obamacare proponent, and then ask yourself why conservatives are listening to these low information politicians:

 

TPM: A fun nugget buried in this story about Rep. Ann Buerkle's (R-NY) first town hall meeting as an elected member of Congress. Constituents repeatedly asked a puzzled Buerkle about her health benefits. She couldn't figure out why. But her staff sure could.

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.
