The Left doesn’t want to “take away economic liberty”, whatever that is supposed to be. The Left wants to set some standards. Would you consider child labor laws blows to economic liberty as well?

Or perhaps it is because there is no constitutional authority for Congress to dictate the specific terms of private contracts? Seems like constitutional protections don’t matter to the left any more than they matter to the right.

The right wants to take away personal liberty; the left wants to take away economic liberty. As one wag noted: We have an evil party and a stupid party and sometimes they get together and do something both evil and stupid; they call that “bipartisanship.”

I’m not in her district but I cannot begin to understand how she could vote against this legislation. Seems this is the ultimate slap in the face of those constituents most in need.

This could be a seriously compelling argument in the 6th on why Bachmann has to go. This issue crosses all party and religious affiliations.

For Republicans like Bachmann, mental illness isn’t an fault, it’s a feature. Making it easier to pay for treatment would be nibbling away at her own base…

Maybe the legislation didn’t cover faith-based treatments like those offered at Marcus Bachmann’s Pray Away the Gay Clinic in Lake Elmo.
