1. More here
In recent months, Rep. Bachmann has sharply criticized efforts by Democrats to offer a "public option" or a public health insurance plan, calling such ideas "socialized medicine."

In November 2009, as she was gearing up for her House Call tea party to oppose health care reform, she said, "This is the most effective way we have to kill socialized medicine and to do it this week."

...

But Minnesota has it's own version of "socialized medicine" for low-income families, called Medical Assistance, and Bachmann's family business actively sought to gain access to these taxpayer funds.

According to data obtained by the Minnesota Independent, Bachmann and Associates, Inc., opened in the summer of 2003 and applied for a Rule 29 license, which was approved in the fall of 2003. Minnesota Department of Human Services' application materials for Rule 29 certification describe the program as one that "establishes standards for community mental health centers and clinics in Minnesota" and "is required for certain categories of Medical Assistance payments."
