While Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., has forcefully denounced the Medicaid program for swelling the "welfare rolls," the mental health clinic run by her husband has been collecting annual Medicaid payments totaling over $137,000 for the treatment of patients since 2005, according to new figures obtained by NBC News.

blah blah blah

"She's giving hypocrisy a bad name," said Ron Pollock, executive director of Families USA, a consumer health care advocacy group, when asked about the Medicaid payments to Bachmann & Associates. "It's clear when it feathers her nest she's happy for Medicaid expenditures. But people that really need it — folks with disabilities and seniors — she's turning their backs on them."

It would be helpful to know what those 'forcefully denouncing' statements against Medicaid were? They should be included in context to make more sense of the op, otherwise, big deal? Find one clinic or doctor's office in the US who hasn't accepted Medicaid payments?
 
newbie the fact that she condemns this type of thing for everyone else...does put her in a bad light now doesnt it......again we have the do as i say not as i do mentality.....that is rampant among all politicians.....how much longer will the american people allow partisan mal to blind them to what is going on?

^^^ This is obvious to any rational being. Sadly, it seems the left are not rational. They prefer bullshit to honesty. Color me shocked.

Are you suggesting they turn away people using medicaid?

Hi!...

As for taking the Funds... What was her Husband supposed to do?...

Turn away the Patients?...

The Law is what the Law is...

Wanting to Change while NOT Denying those who are Afforded it is not Inconsistent...

Not to Mention, it's her Husband, NOT her.

Is her Husband Running as VP?

:)

peace...

Then they'd have made that a headline. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. The rationale of the left.

People really need to learn to think critically about media reports and take their partisan opinion out of the equation to arrive at factually accurate, honest, opinions.... sadly, both sides are infected with party above country disease.

No doubt they'll go after her for taking government funding.... to care for her foster children too.
 
This is an excellent opportunity for Bachmann to educate some of the more rabid folks in her party on the important role Medicaid plays in 1) providing access to needed health services for low-income folks, and 2) keeping the doors open at small clinics. Let's see if she takes advantage.
 
The outspoken Republican Congresswoman asked DFL Gov. Mark Dayton to rescind his executive order expanding Medicaid to 95,000 uninsured and underinsured Minnesotans, saying Dayton is committing the state to what she called “Obamacare.”

“Serious steps are being taken to stop this job-destroying legislation that will cause healthcare costs to rise exponentially,” said Bachmann. “Yet here in Minnesota, Governor Dayton is unyielding in his desire to fully commit our state to it.”

Its been brutally apparent for some time now that the left is wholly incapable of thinking critically. The left speaks from talking points and nothing more I strongly doubt that many if any give any thought at all to what they are saying and post's like this are a very clear indication of that fact.

Oh it won't be long and the left will be attacking the foster children as well just as they have done with every other Female candidate

Personally, it's pretty apparent that this inability to think crosses political boundries. It's as prevalent on the right as it is on the left.

While I agree with your premise that for these folks it's either Medicaid or virtually zero access, I thought the conservative line was that moving back in the direction of private charity care (i.e. providers swallowing those expenses) won't significantly harm access. If the choice really is between accepting Medicaid reimbursement or turning folks away, that would seem to be a tough sell.
