Senator Grassley’s Destructive Attacks on Health Care Reform
Washington, D.C. —“While President Obama and Democrats in Congress are working to lower health care costs and stop insurance company abuses, Sen. Grassley has made it clear that he is not trying to accomplish real reform. He is not negotiating in good faith. He has effectively broken off the negotiations.
“Senator Grassley is lucky he’s not being prosecuted for mail fraud. His letter is full of misrepresentations and lies. He says that President Obama wants to nationalize health care. He says that government would ration health care. He says that government would take individual health care decisions away from doctors and patients. And he even attacks Sen. Ted Kennedy for taking the lead on this desperately needed reform.
“Senator Grassley is not being the honest broker the people of Iowa or the nation need. It’s time for him to put an end to this kind of division and misrepresentation of the facts. America can’t wait for quality, affordable health care for all.”
