Bachmann's Husband Took Medicaid Funds
While Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) has denounced Medicaid for "swelling the welfare rolls," NBC News reports the mental health clinic run by her husband "has been collecting annual Medicaid payments totaling over $137,000 for the treatment of patients since 2005."

The previously unreported payments are on top of the $24,000 in federal and state funds that the clinic received in recent years to train its employees.

The $161,000 in payments "appear to contradict" some of Bachmann's "public accounts this week when she was first asked about the extent to which her family has benefited from government aid."

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times reports Bachmann has also "benefited personally from federal funds and federal farm subsidies."
