many do - when I was young and dumb (ok dumber than I am now) I chose extra beer money over having insurance....  of course now with Obama redefining a 26 year old adult as a child I would have stayed on my parents insurance....

Well it would be no surprise that a welfare

queen, like Bachmann, would be supportive

of the free-rider mandate: don't worry

about buying private health care insurance,

when you get sick or injured just show-up

at the emergency room.

 Not if you are a taxpayer.

Recent work on conservatism has pointed out that conservatives have several symptoms in common with people who are mentally ill, including:

- Delusional thinking
- Paranoia
- Disconnection from others/lack of empathy
- Mental rigidity/closed-mindedness
- Uncertainty avoidance, intolerance for ambiguity, dichotomous thinking
- Compartmentalized thinking

Mental illness is seeing the world through a skewed filter, among other things. It's often caused by chemical imbalances, but there are also mental illnesses that seem to be triggered by social pressures, such as fear, anxiety, and uncertainty.
