If anyone doesn't know, this is an actual quote from a town hall meeting in '09 when the ACA was on everyone's mind.

Hmm, while it's widely quoted i dunno if there is audio/video to find

give me a bit to see if i can dig that up. If anyone wants to try as well it was in Simpsonville, South Carolina, by an unidentified person to congressman Bob Inglis.

Edit: it was reported by the Washington Post as happening on July 28 2009. While the Simpsonville town hall website keeps audio and transcriptions of its meetings, it seems to have purged all meeting records before 2015. Anyone else wanna take a crack at it?
