Minnesota Republican thanked Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) for continuing the fight to undo Obamacare.

“The American people, especially vulnerable women, vulnerable children, vulnerable senior citizens, now get to pay more and get less,” Bachmann opined. “That’s why we’re here because we’re saying let’s repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens!”
“Let’s not do that!” she exclaimed. “Let’s love people, let’s care about people. Let’s repeal it now while we can.”
Bachmann explained that she was fighting Obamacare because she was a “born again believer in Jesus Christ.”
“And I believe, as part of my duty as a believer in Christ and what he has done for me, that we should do for the least of those who are in our midst,” she said. “That’s my personal belief and my personal conviction. And that’s why I want our government to create the space so that we can help people, because I’ll guarantee you one thing, Mr. Speaker, this doesn’t help people.”
A certain Malala Yousufzai would like a word with you, Batshit. Where were you personally, helping this Pakistani girl - shot in the head by the Taliban - for her openly objecting to their policy on females not allowed to have an education? Did you personally bring her from that country to the US, and fund her extensive hospital treatment, to the present state that she can now attend school to get the education she so dearly wants (certainly deserves!) in your country...?
...oh yes, that's right. She was brought here to the UK, to have her near-fatal head wounds operated on by the best neurosurgeons & treatment by doctors and consultants, courtesy of our National Health Service. Y'know, Batshit: NHS. That which was celebrated in the opening ceremony of our 2012 London Olympics. NHS. As in = Obamacare. And just recently she was cleared by doctors to be able to go to a state school in this country.
A 'failure'* that 'literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens', eh? Again, Malala Yousufzai would like a word with you, Batscat Shelly.
Because she sure as hell would've died if nothing had been done.
As a result, the UK is seen in a more favourable light by the people of Pakistan. Thus diplomatic (and therefore trade) ties between our countries are strengthened.

-Pat Buchanan
And it's precisely because you're a 'born again believer in Jesus Christ', is why you're not in government today; that your wish to 'repeal' Obamacare will avail you naught, Batshit. If wishes were currency, you'd be homeless and starving. Also, the very fact that - no doubt despite your 'prayers' in early November last year - your 'faith' was all for naught too. If you're reduced to going along the political path, it proves you don't have much faith in your 'Faith'.
Where is your 'Jesus' now? The people have spoken. They want Obamacare. And there's fuck all that you - and what's left of the Norwegian Blue-esque GOP - can do about it.
It has ceased to be! [/Monty Python]
*- For an institution such as the NHS, which has been in existence since 1948, seems that the only failure here is you, Batshit.
