Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) had a little trouble reading today. She was trying to read the American Affordable Healthy Choices Act. This bill is the House's health care bill. She apparently misread certain parts. Or did she?
On Dennis Miller's radio show today, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) attacked the bill, claiming that it plainly stated that Americans would be forced out of their current health care plans "within five years":
- BACHMANN: Well, what does that mean? That means that politicians are going to substitute their choice for your doctor's choice for you. That's exactly what this bill does. Here's the other thing about that bill. It's a monstrosity. I have the bill printed out on my desk, it's over 1,000 pages long. On the 16th page, it says whatever health care you have now, it's going to be gone within five years. So your current health care plan, you're not going to have in five years. What you're going to have is a government plan and a federal bureau is going to decide what you get or if you get anything at all.
It doesn't actually say that on p. 16. Page 16 is the start of the Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage section of the bill.
Considering Michele often makes stuff up like secret plans to divide Iraq and secret plans to get rid of the dollar for a one-world currency, it's possible she's just in insane-conspiracies-everywhere mode.
Considering how often she lies ... well ... she could just be lying. |
