Montana's top opponent of the women's health and the Affordable Healthcare Act, Tea Partier Annie Bukacek, appears to have delivered false testimony before the Montana Legislature.

On January 21, 2011, Bukacek testified before the state Senate Public Health Committee in favor of SB-161, a bill to nullify federal health care laws, and cited "statistics from a 2010 Investor's  Business Daily article based on a survey  by the United Nations International Health Organization."  She then read a list of statistics that supposedly indicate how people in countries with universal health care are dying at a greater rate than Americans.  This video clip shows her testimony.

The supposed study she cites is a fraud. It does not even exist, actually, nor does the organization she cites.  In fact, this non-existent study is one that right wing activists have been citing across America, in hearings, in articles, on websites.  It's become an internet meme.  But it's a big canard, according to the Center for Public Integrity.  There is neither a study nor even a group called the UNIHO.
