Don't you think if he is eligible to receive those horrible Medicare payments, they would have checked his credentials before allowing him to become a provider?
Do you think there is no fraud? Besides, from the linked article:
Minnesota is one of the few states where you can practice therapy without a license...

So what? Just b/c he doesn't need a license does not mean he is acting fraudulently.
What I am saying is that if he has been accepted as a provider to receive Medicare payments for providing services to Medicare patients, he has passed whatever requirements are needed for becoming a provider. It's not as easy as just calling up and asking for a provider number.

Please follow what I said initially - that there are questions about his doctorate. You seem to be going off in a different direction.

No, it's not a different direction. The gov't is not in the habit of handing out payments to doctors who are fake. I understand most people do not have experience in becoming a provider on a health care plan, but I do and it's not a walk in the park. You have to prove your credentials to become a provider. If there are questions about his Ph.D., then they would never have approved him, much less for however many years he's been in practice.

....again, you do not need a Phd to practice in that state. I pointed it out in an earlier post. His practice was not called into question but his PhD was. To become a provider, you do not need a Phd. He very well may be able to walk the walk - that I did not dispute.
So what? It's still considered a doctorate degree. Juris DOCTOR. Just b/c there is dispute about it does not mean it's not what it is. I also see no evidence in the form of links or citations that shows Bachmann actually requesting to go by "Dr." or actually calling herself that. Do you?
Now, I did not respond to this originally b/c I have you on ignore. And back you go.
She has a J.D. obtained in 1986. That entitles her to use the title of "Doctor". Not all "doctors" are Ph.D.'s or MD's.
You should do some of your own research before posting this kind of inaccuracy.
Actually, no it doesn't. Not at all.
Bachmann is a pathological liar.
