From time to time you hear someone say what a lovely lady Bachmann is. I wonder if they ever thought of slitting their wrist and rubbing up against her open sore.
Bachmann calls for 'covenant' to defeat health care overhaul | StarTribune.com (http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/56676527.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4OW3ckUiD 3aPc:_Yyc:aUUT - broken link)
Who me, it is estimated that law suits against health care practitioners cost everyone about 750 dollars a year in premiums.So that is no small number.I agree with you that the insurance companies need reined in and they are no angels.I would rather see some regulation being added such as pre existing conditions and some taken away like buying insurance across state lines.
My self,I am more of a state rights type and think the problem could be handled better at the state level where it is closer to the people.And constitutional I might add.I have been reading about some co op ideas and at the state level it could work out.But to hand over 1/6th of our economy over to the incompetent federal gvt does not seem like a good idea.
If you consider that SSI and Medicare are going to be insolvent in the very near future do you really want the feds running your health care?

I don't buy the crap about medicare and SSI, they will be fine.
You are another who agrees the insurance companies should be reined in....BY WHO OR WHAT? (NObody has EVER answered that question)
Yes, she unfortunately is my Rep and has lost her tiny mind , but that was evident here in Minnesota awhile ago. I can't find many who voted for her around my area , or any that will admit to it.
She was the slobbering, married Wh--e who tried to "exchange bodily fluids" with Bush as he walked out of the Senate....that comes from all the praying that she does, I guess.
I have no idea why she hates Americans so much....must be a neocon Fascist thing....
My son lives in Blaine so she represents that area to. Man I can't wait till they redistrict.
Bachmann suggested that better methods of overhauling health care would be to "erase" state boundaries for purchasing health insurance and address tort reform.
Remember Jm,Dean told us that there is going to be no tort reform because they did not want to take on the lawyers.Wonder why?
Because that is the second largest group of contributors to the democratic party, after the unions. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Though she made a terrible anology she said a couple of things that make sense such as :

Tell me how selling insurance across state lines will lower costs.
Next time you're sleeping with Bachmann please tell her Minnesota already has tort reform. Guess what it lowered health care costs zero, zip, nada.

Why wonder why.

Moving to taxes, Bachmann said that for some Americans, the ratio of tax payments to earned income can reach 50 percent -- compared to 5 percent in 1950.
The top tax rate in the 50's was 90% for individual and 49% for corporate. If Bachmann liked the 50's so much tell her to introduce a bill to bring the tax rates back to where they were.

How would you are other left leaners like to pay 50% of your income?If you feel so compelled why not send the IRS the difference from what you owe and match the 50% ?
Any volunteers?
Now I know you're not that dumb. How much do you think the middle class pays in taxes. with the
fed income tax
payroll taxes
state income tax
sales taxes
property taxes
telephone taxes
gas tax
license tax
registration tax
transfer fees
You get the idea it was so much easier in the 50's when the income tax and the corporate tax paid most of it.
Hey, at least she has a great health plan for any surgeries or transfusions she'll need!!!!
