Bachmann: ‘Medicaid Is A Valuable Form Of Insurance’ | Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has decried Medicaid for swelling the “welfare rolls,” but after since it’s been discovered that Bachmann’s husband’s counseling centers accepted $137,000 in Medicaid payments, the Tea Party presidential candidate finds herself defending the program. Today, Bachmann released this statement: “Medicaid is a valuable form of insurance for many Americans and it would be discriminatory not to accept Medicaid as a form of payment.” –Sean Savett
