In 3 days the media filth has done more digging on Bachmann’s background than they’ve done on Obambi in 3 years. You know these dirtbags will dig into every one of her 23 foster kids to get them to say something negative.
Do not be surprised folks...the left understands us as their enemy...they have known this for decades and treat us thusly. The problem isn’t that they think of us as the enemy, the problem is that we do not think of them as the enemy. Most of us think they are simply Americans with differing viewpoints. They are not...they hate America and Americans with a passion that will not stop at the voting booths.
One would have to see the entire interview to know if Bachmann is being misleadingly quoted here — if this is a Michael Moore style slime job complete with creative editing to make Bachmann look like she was lying when she was clearly talking about two different Federal deals. One was the training program, the other was the Medicaid payments that the clinic accepted (at a loss).
Notice welfare rolls is in italics. I wonder what she really said...
If you are going to run a clinic in modern day America, you have to take Medicaid money. The point of running a business like that is to make money. That doesn’t mean he or she agrees with the program.
Soooo___________________________he should have turned away the patients who were on Medicaid??
Where was NBC on the Rezko-Obama house purchase?
I am also a parasite of the federal government ..
I’m retired and get SSA money.. VA and medicare..
I don’t even work for it.. or produce anything..
Michele and I didn’t make the system we live with it..
At least Michele is trying to clean this mess up..
So what? If you treat Medicaid patients you get paid by Medicaid. If you treat Medicare patients you get paid by Medicare. The whole thing is BS. This is the beginning of the smear of Michelle Bachmann by the MSM. Dont’ buy into it.
The original 'gotcha' is that ridiculous...
>> the mental health clinic run by her husband has been collecting annual Medicaid payments totaling over $137,000
The implication being the clinic should refuse the Medicaid patients?
Punk accounting by the Marxist Media.
WTH, how much did Michelbelle and Axelblob get from the federal and state government when they worked at the University hospital in Illinois? Where their only job there was to make sure no nonpaying poor were admitted.
What an absurd non story. Medicaid is reimbursment for services rendered which no where near pay the full cost of those services. If you are making 1.00 on a 10.00 service you are not making a financial gain. In fact State law probably compels the doctor to accept Medicaid.
NBC is obviously news for retards, written by people who think their audience are retards.
The Medicaide is payment for services rendered - not some wacko leftist grant.
The Left is so far gone they want to make working for a living an evil thing. What trash.
Given that Uncle Sam already pays for 40-50% of all medical expenses in the USA already, there are very few doctors who can survive without seeing some Medicaid patients.

What the Crap? Big Hairy Deal. At least he accepts Medicaid patients. Many doctors simply don’t take medicaid or medicare patients, because the government reimpbursement is only about 1/3 of what it should be to cover the cost of treatment.
To give the impression that medicaid or medicare insurance payment for services performed is some kind of state or federal aid to Bachmann & Assoc. is very misleading.
What is he supposed to turn away the poor and only accept private insurance patients? Is that what they are saying?
Hey, Isokoff, you dumbass, most doctors, especially those who accept low income patients are REQUIRED to accept Medicaid. You would be bitching about him neglecting them if he didn’t!
The program is intended to provide comprehensive health-care coverage for more than 50 million Americans too poor or disabled to afford it elsewhere.
The majority of Medicaid recipients receives their benefits through a private health-maintenance organization contracted by Medicaid to administer the program.
