Michele Bachmann, in what appears to be a broadcast from her local public access studio, coins the term in reference to Rick Perry’s executive order mandating the HPV vaccine for teenage girls. (No mention of the uninsured rate in Texas).

“Whether it’s ObamaCare or PerryCare,” (See what she did there?) Bachmann says, “I oppose any governor or President who mandates a family’s health care choices and violates the rights of parents on these issues, especially if the decision-making process occurs behind closed doors, bypassing legislative action and favors campaign contributors over families.”

UPDATE: Here’s Perry, on the trail in Iowa, pulling his own “whether it’s” on Mitt Romney:

“The model for socialized medicine has been tried before…whether it was in western Europe or in Massachusetts…The problem with state-sponsored health care is that you cannot contain it just within the borders of your state. When that plan took effect, it also increased Medicare/Medicaid costs.”
