Bachmann: A Seven-Foot Doctor Told Me Obamacare Requires The IRS To Pre-Approve Medical Treatments

Bachmann: A Seven-Foot Doctor Told Me Obamacare Requires The IRS To Pre-Approve Medical Treatments

By Igor Volsky

Michele Bachmann prides herself for pressing Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but during an appearance at Webster City, Iowa Wednesday night, the Minnesota congresswoman proved that she’s also leading the charge in developing outrageous new attacks against the legislation. At the town hall, Bachmann complained that undocumented immigrants are exempt from paying for the law, claimed that a seven-foot doctor told her the IRS had to approve medical procedures, and reiterated her long-standing view that doctors and hospitals would provide free care to the uninsured if they were shielded from malpractice claims:

– “Under Obamacare illegal aliens don’t have to pay for Obamacare. Only American citizens pay for Obamacare. <...> Illegal aliens have the possibility of getting the care, but they have no requirement to pay for the care. Only the citizens do.”

– “One man stood up, he was over 7-feet tall. He was a physician in the community. And he said, ‘I had a little lady in my office and because of Obamacare, I had to call the IRS and I had to get a number to put on a form before I could see her.’

– “When I was a little girl…There were people who could not pay . I mean they just did not have any money at all. And so the doctor would just write it off. <...> It’s very different today. Now, doctors don’t feel like they can do that…they worry about liability.

Watch it:

3. We Already pay for the care of undocumented persons and others
Doesn't this twit know that people go the the emergency room and those of us with insurance are paying a premium to cover the costs of those people without insurance that end up at the emergency room when they're so ill they have to go and it's a lot more expensive to care for them?

I wish stupid were a disease we could cure.

7. I thought the 7 foot doctor was a dildo she uses every nite
Of course, it doesn't mean that the so called 7 foot doctor isn't a dildo.

10. It was a Grey and he was performing a sexual experiment on her aboard his spacecraft
Michelle was so traumatized by her alien abduction that she's built a false reality around it.

18. My gradnparents would have been charged more than 5 dollars.
Michelle must be about 80 or 90 years old for a physician's visit to cost as little as $5.

Also the IRS would not be releasing private information to a physician over the phone and the physician, unless he were so bad an md. that he had no staff, would not be the phone making the call.

It is possible that his office spent two hours on the phone with the patient's insurance company trying to get them to cover what ever treatment she was getting. That is not uncommon.

So Michelle, once again, is either a major league liar or an idiot. Also too, those traits are not mutually exclusive.

Shame on the Republican party for putting this vacuous embarrassment up as a serious candidate for the nomination for POTUS.
