Classic.

Where have we heard this before?

It isn't the only game in town.

Shouldn't Michelle Bachmann be more appreciative of Medicaid since it supports her and her husband's lifestyle?

What would your position be if her husband REFUSED Medicaid patients instead?

My position would be no different than the one I hold for any business that limits the list of services it offers.

Lol, I doubt $137,000 over 6 years supported anything. It probably didn't even cover the cost of providing service. So, please tell us how do you turn away Medicaid patients in your practice?

Well, he could have principles??? He could stand up for what he and his wife believe in IF he had a backbone...rumor is, not much of one.



AND , like Repugs love to say, "If ya don't like your job, just get another one."""

"The previously unreported payments are on top of the $24,000 in federal and state funds that Bachmann & Associates, the clinic founded by Marcus Bachmann, a clinical therapist, received in recent years under a state grant to train its employees, state records show. The figures were provided to NBC News in response to a Freedom of Information request."

Are the Bachman's socialists or hypocrits?

She will not be held accountable. They get away with anything they want. She will call Obama some outrages name while the tea party cheers her.

I doubt it ever made it to their taxes as that was the reimbursement he received, not the profit. The profit on that revenue was probably in the neighborhood of zero.
