Your inability to recognize satire really hampers your ability to grasp reality. No wonder the Russians had a field day with you nutters.
You will NOT find any such actual quote.
Which makes you 'ridiculous and off-base', cat.

PolitiFact wanted to put this claim to rest after a skeptical reader wrote in asking us whether Pelosi actually said this.

Our own searches for news clips came up empty. A spokesman from Pelosi’s office told us she didn’t say it.
Sure enough, we traced the Pelosi quote in question back to a satire website. Duh Progressive likens itself to a right-leaning version of The Onion. Most of the site’s articles are politically charged takes on the news.

Their article, which purports to be written by Pelosi herself, is meant to poke fun at the way Democrats defend the Affordable Care Act from critics.
Our ruling
Facebook posts quoted Pelosi as saying, "Waiting long hours in the emergency room will allow you to make new friends!" We quickly traced back the claims to a satirical article. Pelosi never actually said this, or anything remotely similar. This claim is ridiculous and off-base, so we rated it Pants on Fire.
