Forgive me, but I do believe the Mayo Clinic is a private institution, not a state-run enterprise. It may just be nitpicking, and I know what she thinks she said, but this is exactly the kind of thinking that allows liberals/statists to think that the state can come in and do better than private enterprise, in spite of the fact it never once in history has and, because of that record, can be assumed to never be able to in the future.

I’m sure Bachmann is a fine lady with a lot going for her, but she’d better get out of the statist way of thinking.
