Iowa Voter To Grassley: 'You're Gonna Create One Great Big Death Panel!'
Senator Chuck Grassley had a rough town hall this morning, where he was (finally!) confronted on the horrible policymaking that Republicans are indulging themselves in.
A middle-aged man stood up and informed Grassley that he was on Obamacare.
"If it wasn't for Obamacare we wouldn't be able to afford insurance," he explained.
"With all due respect sir, you're the man that talked about the death panels," the man reminded. "We're going to create one great big death panel in this country that people can't afford to get insurance!"
"Don't repeal Obamacare! Fix it!," he shouted.
The crowd was behind him 100 percent, too.
This is happening in town halls all over the country, which is why over 200 Republicans are not even holding town halls, or are keeping them very low profile. But unlike the Tea Party town halls of 2009, people are passionate, but civil. They're not getting many good answers from their elected representatives, however.
Grassley did have a response, but it was fairly generic and certainly not based in anything factual.
On Tuesday, Grassley tried to reassure the crowd that packed the community hall, saying that three of the four main GOP health care plans circulating on Capitol Hill would preserve Obamacare’s most popular provisions: pre-existing condition protections, the prohibition on lifetime limits and the ability of young adults to stay on their parents’ health care plans.
