Most doctors I know work for free. What in the hell was he thinking? Get reimbursed for treating patients. The audacity!

seems bachman has more trouble than stealing petty's music
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."
Bachmann's husband got $137,000 in Medicaid funds - politics - Decision 2012 - msnbc.com
Still haven't seen the 'denouncing statements' that she apparently made, it would be nice to have them in context to go with the op, since the op is making the claim it should provide the rest of the information.
Newby is a level headed and polite poster.
Would some one please produce some quotes showing Bachmann railing against medicare.
LMAO!! Obamacare was centrist really? The administration is the Left which is the reason you say nothing about what it is doing to our Nation.

Umm the thread is about medicaid, not medicare.
Not the same thing.
Nice diversion attempt though.

You knew what he meant, yet you could not provide any sort of applicable quote. Pathetic diversion attempt.
The article itself only ever says that Bachmann is critical of expanding and changing the Medicaid system under the new health care law. So lets spell this out simply.
1. Bachmann's husband took patients under the old law thereby indicating at least a modicum of support for the old law.
2. Bachmann denounces changing the program thereby indicating at least a modicum of support for maintaining the old law.
3. Bachmann is a hypocrite.
Her husband operated under the old law, and she argued for maintaining the old law. But she's a hypocrite. You people are dumber than dirt.

Much ado about nothing.
Note something very specific. FOR THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS. What does that mean? It means people who could not afford treatment who needed it, came in AND WERE TREATED!!!!!! Oh my GAWD! How COULD they serve the populace who was afforded treatment by YOUR gubmint tax dollars at work in an approved method!???! Is there something illegal or unethical about doing this?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.
So you want to lambaste her for her husband accepting Medicare payments and Minnesota Care payments for people who couldn't afford it? My GAWD! Are you people consistent in your own goddamn beliefs? If you want government healthcare, this is IT for you! Classic example. Her husband provides what you demand and you break out the torches and pitchforks because he is doing what you want.The $161,000 in payments from the Minnesota Department of Human Services to her husband's clinic appear to contradict some of Michelle Bachmann's public accounts this week when she was first asked about the extent to which her family has benefited from government aid.
"My husband and I did not get the money," adding that it was "mental health training money that went to the employees."
Much ado about nothing.
This is becoming a stock response about all the slip ups Bachman has been having. At what point do all those become "something" ? I mean, shit, Obama gets tired and says "57 states" and you guys want to bring that up to the end of time. But yet, Bachman screams and yells about the evils of Medicare, while at the same time, her family is benefiting from Medicare, and we're supposed to just drop it? Because it's "nothing" ?
Hypocrite much?
You're missing the point. It's not that she used them or her husband did. It's the hypocrisy of saying all that stuff is bad...then her actions saying the opposite.
You're missing the point too then. They ARE bad AND they are LEGAL. A horrible and currently active situation.You're missing the point. It's not that she used them or her husband did. It's the hypocrisy of saying all that stuff is bad...then her actions saying the opposite.
People like being jerked off.The interesting thing here is bachman is telling what the rabid right wants to hear, but wont actually walk the walk. Which is something the right has.never.understood. these people are only jerking you off with their words. But hey I guess people like being used.
Sure you can. Drives the point home faster. Sorry but Alinsky tactics don't work when you know they're being applied. You want ideological purity, you first.You can't say something needs to be ended and is illegal...then turn around and use it. WTF.
The two are separate issues. We're talking about Bachmann's hypocrisy. I'm all for discussing the merits/evils of the other...but let's stick to one discussion at a time and not deflect, shall we?
please explain what Backmann or Bachmanns husband did wrong.
So end it, and stop the 'corruption' you created and desire to expand through Obamacare. It's really pathetic. If her husband's medical practice (and it IS medical according to the law) accepts government payments for services rendered, she's a hypocrite. But if some dipshit leftist uses it, he's a saint.please explain what Backmann or Bachmanns husband did wrong.
Easy. She yelled about the evils of Medicare and how bad it is for the country, while at the same time her family was benefiting from it. That's like saying you morally object to capital punishment, but "Hey, as long as we can kill people, line 'em up!"
Someone already wrote in this thread that this would be a great opportunity for Bachman to talk about the REALITY of Medicare, which is that some people really need and some smaller clinics really benefit from it. It's not evil, it's a good thing for this country.
