Marcus Bachmann, Unlicensed psychologist, fraud and husband of Michele Bachmann

[JAnthony]

"There are no verifiable records that Marcus Bachmann practices genuine psychology or psychotherapy. He admits that publicly but not to his patients. Instead Marcus Bachmann practices the long discredited “reparative therapy” (sometimes known as corrective or conversion therapy) to turn gay men and lesbians into heterosexuals which the American Psychiatric Association has gone on record denouncing, claiming that such “therapy” does not exist and those who use it do more injury to their patients than help the patients.

1. Is it covered by insurance?

[JAnthony]

3. Not only insurance, Medicaid.... The clinic has collected around $150K of

taxpayer money over the years.

According to a report by TWO Truth Wins Out.

17. In order to get Medicare to pay for something you have to have a

diagnosis number. I'm sure that is one of the ways he collected money fraudulently. Because there is no number for reparative therapy or need for reparative therapy.

2. How many other people with fake diplomas are frauding the system for tax payer dollars?

[truth2power]

7. I don't know. But their spouses aren't running for POTUS. What is your point?..

I wonder why you would try to minimize the fact that he's practicing a discredited treatment modality.

4. move along, nothing to see here

spouses and relatives are only an issue if it's a negative for a Democrat.

5. Is he actually unlicenced?

[MineralMan]

6. He is unlicensed. In Minnesota, no licence is required to

set up shop as a therapist. The state should be embarrassed by that.

[JAnthony]

8. The state should be embarrassed to have elected Michele B in the

first place.

She went to a religious diploma mill for law school.

She practiced tax collection law for the US IRS.

She's an idiot, period. Major embarrassment to the state as a three time elected Congressperson.

[MineralMan]

10. The state did not elect Michele Obama. Her congressional district

did. In my congressional district, we elected Betty McCollum. In another district, the voters elected Keith Ellison. The state, however, did elect Al Franken. It appears that you do not understand how this all works. Who did your state elect? Your district? I'd look it up, but we don't know where you live. I'll be interested in hearing your answer.

12. Michele Obama?

:shrug: I know Letterman refers to her as Michele O'Bachman, but.....

[JAnthony]

14. Tee Hee, that poster was scolding ME for saying (improperly phrased) that

the STATE had elected Mrs Bachmann...

I apologized for that.

[MineralMan]

16. Crap! I was typing too fast and didn't check.

My mistake. I hope people knew what I meant.

[JAnthony]

13. Sorry to have offended you. If I lived in a state with Michele B in

Congress, I would be embarrassed, even if she were not in my district.

Sorry for the poorly stated comment.

[Aerows]

15. That explains why her District was able to elect her

anyone that needs mental health counseling, which would be everyone who voted for Michele Bachmann and Bachmann herself, can go to an unlicensed therapist.

9. Marcus Bachmann isn't specifically mentioned in Doonesbury today, but ...
