Bachmann’s clinic takes in thousands from “socialized medicine”
As congresswoman decries 'handouts,' her husband's clinic takes $27,564 from state

Bachmann and Associates, Inc., a Christian mental health clinic founded and run by Rep. Michele Bachmann’s husband, has been taking money from Minnesota’s coffers since it was founded in 2003. It’s the latest example of a disjuncture in Bachmann’s rhetoric: the Sixth District Republican has seen her star rise in Tea Party circles for fiery rhetoric opposing government “handouts” and “socialized medicine,” while, again, she’s found to be directly benefiting from government funds. Since 2007, the clinic, run by Marcus Bachmann, has taken in nearly $30,000.

In recent months, Rep. Bachmann has sharply criticized efforts by Democrats to offer a “public option” or a public health insurance plan, calling such ideas “socialized medicine.”

In November 2009, as she was gearing up for her House Call tea party to oppose health care reform, she said, “This is the most effective way we have to kill socialized medicine and to do it this week.”

She added, “Nothing is more effective at reaching a congressman than having a citizen come to Washington, D.C. – not asking for a handout, not asking for tax money, not asking to take some liberty away from somebody else, but just asking for freedom.”

But Minnesota has it’s own version of “socialized medicine” for low-income families, called Medical Assistance, and Bachmann’s family business actively sought to gain access to these taxpayer funds.

According to data obtained by the Minnesota Independent, Bachmann and Associates, Inc., opened in the summer of 2003 and applied for a Rule 29 license, which was approved in the fall of 2003. Minnesota Department of Human Services’ application materials (pdf) for Rule 29 certification describe the program as one that “establishes standards for community mental health centers and clinics in Minnesota” and “is required for certain categories of Medical Assistance payments.” ..........(more)

Jeez, get it right! If federal money goes to you, you undeserving mooch, it's that dirty, filthy welfare. If it goes to Michele Bachmann and her family, it's totally earned and deserved.

And the Bushes, the Cheneys, well you know the spill.

Welcome to DU Ed Barrow!

Are they praying away the gay and crazy shit like that?

nt

your hands together and close your eyes...

...contradictory, doesn't it...."christian mental health"? to my knowledge there is no such thing (within the crowd that insists there's only one way to be a good christian that is). :shrug:

i'm aware of other christian denominations aren't as strict (or intolerant).

Criticize Government handouts while getting them.
Bash gay people while renting boys.
Women having careers that tell other women to submit to their husbands.

The list goes on.

Nope. :smoke:

This and other corruption like this needs to be widely known...not by just liberals, but by every citizenn of this nation!

We are smart.... we can figure out how to do this!

I guess I do not have to worry about going to them. I have no desire to be preached to. Two ways to look at this. First if I had god in my life i would not need to go there. Second I would need to go there really in a big way because i was brainwashed by all these people pushing their version of god into everyday life.

They all make me sick. I still wonder what type of people vote for these charlatans.

So appropriate!!! :rofl: :rofl:

WTF?

If her husband runs a mental health clinic and his wife is MB, then they are frauds.!!

She is as crazy as they come!!
