I know. It's funny. He had had enough of her drivel!

According to Bachmann, if you fill out the Census form, you're putting yourself at risk of being hauled off to an internment camp.

Page 16 of the bill. Read it. It will make getting private insurance illegal. Lose your job-you must go on the government plan. Quit you job and start your own business-you must go on the government plan.

The government will let you keep your insurance until the decide you can't keep your insurance.

Think Progress » Bachmann Misreads House Health Bill To Claim ‘Whatever Health Care You Have Now’ Will Be Gone In 5 Years

I am truly convinced that this nutjob is clinically insane...
Thanks for posting some truth on the subject, I see the rightie sheep are already trying to post their latest propaganda, and looking foolish for doing so, but that is what one gets when they believe without question when their leaders speak.
Have an Excellent Weekend,
Casper

After 5 years if your insurnace can not compete with governamnt plan whcih has all teh advanatges in cost has we see they can mandate what hospitals and providers charge looking at medciare and medaicid then they wilkl disapear. If you look at medicare and medicaid paying 20 and 30% less to providers now then it stands to reason.There is little doubt thatdemo0crats want to really creat universal opn epayer system in this country.They then can epand taxes andd fees to the level that they have in europe and other places.They alos can mandate treatment and ration as they see fit like is happening in europe.All it takes is looking at what Obama said he would do but has consdier already to finance health care rpograms which include taxing insurance benfits of workers( vote reacted) ;how taxing insurance itself. In the end consumers will pay the bill one way or another ;its just find what tax or fee they can get pass the voters.Its a game of getting people to believe that their is a free lunch really.

Of course, everyone and their brother is analyzing what is going on and thinking, "This is
terrible!" Well, maybe that's because it is.

At the link over at wnd.com
WorldNetDaily

"So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised – with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers," Investor's Business Daily reported. "What wasn't known until now is that the bill itself will kill the market for private individual coverage by not letting any new policies be written after the public option becomes law," IBD states.

I say, "It doesn't matter what Joe average or IBD or any normal minded thinking person says. The dems are in power and they know that they had better sign ANYthing into law before Kennedy dies and before the August recess. Who cares if it is total expensive absurdity? They have the power may as well wheel it to the full extent 'cause next election......they're OUT!"

You didn't read it, or you'd know that is not the case.

No one will be forced to go on the Government plan.

Page 16 applies to Grandfather clause for current plans.

For every Bachmann there is a Boxer, For every Palin there is a Pelosi.

We are Governed by complete incompetence.

I was unsure if I should even enter this thread because there were some obvious problems;

Bachmann "read" or "misread". C'mon, with those glassy eyes are you sure she can read. Back in my Air Force days we were told to be on the lookout for the younger enlisted ranks being on pot. Glassy eyes was one tip-off.

Someone had told me that Beck kind of acted like she was nuts. When the insane think that you are insane, WOW.

I did hear or read that there are at least two Dems and an Independent (they have those in MN) that are thinking of challenging her next year. One is the guy that she edged out last Novemenber. He got a lot of donations because of her "melt-down" (it turns out that she's really that crazy all the time) on "Hardball" last October. Had that come a bit earlier (Tinklenberg?) he might have whipped her. I gave up to the max to the guy and I'll do it again.

Although I will miss the comedy when she's gone.
