Chuck you are a disgrace! Chuck during the Clinton administration didn't you submit an amendment to create a mandate to require all Americans to purchase health care. Now you oppose it. CHUCK YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!
Hey GSenator Gastlley will not find any support but the bill will be stopped by process. He will not be the one. He already made all his constituates sex offenders.
He's been around long enough. He didn't put a bill together during the Reagan years, he knocked any bill during the Clinton years and he did nothing about health during the Bush years and now he is fouling the waters with cries that we are going to get taxed more for a good health care package. Well what about the Iraq war? Haliburton, American lives there lost? Taxed to death for war. The U.S. borrowed billions from China during the Bush years and Grassley said NOTHING. Hypocrite.
Call and tell them - We want TRANSPARENCY on the Health Care Bill - WE DO NOT want ANOTHER STIMULUS ( cause they haven't done anything with the last one yet..) and NO MORE FUNDING ACORN!!

How many people ABUSE the medical system? Because they are lazy, or have drug addictions, or just abuse their own bodies with fast food, smoking, drinking,
Alot of them my freind. And I don't want to pay for them!
Sen "Assley" is another lying REPUBE sack of s%$T.
The big Health Insurance companies have their hands deeply and thoroughly up his wrinkled bunghole.
This liar has the nerve to repeat idiot Sarah Palin's LIES about "Government Death Panels" at public town halls.
A clear and utter LIE. This tool knows he can get away with it, because most of the fools at his town hall are brain dead conservatives who will believe ANY crap tossed at them by their so-called leader and Faux News.
Anybody know any federal jobs that are open? I want the same health care plan Grassley has. It's so inexpensive he doesn't remember how much it costs. Oh wait, it's because the evil GOVERNMENT he works for and is part of, pays most of it. GRASSLEY is on a public option but wants to deny that to the rest of us.
This is paid for by government employees union dues. Yes, those same government employees who want to keep THEIR Cadillac health plans, but want to throw the rest of us into government health care. Nice...
Good enough for thee, but not for me!
The rest of us have the right to representation too and we are saying NO! We need real reform, not government control!
Nice, someone is going all around marking my comments on these propaganda videos as spam. Transparency, honesty, integrity? More like thuggery, the Chicago way.
So which is it...do you want private insurance paid for by your neighbors or you want Gov't run insurance paid for by your neighbors? Or you prefer to not pay representatives at all and have volunteers? Fine by me! Otherwise, Have some guts...go ask your neighbors next time you get a bill..no DEMAND that they help pay..you don't need Obama to do it for you!DUH
I'll put our school system up against California any day of the week there Stoner! They still teach the Constitution here. The Constitution, ever hear of it? If you or Nancy are the last to leave Cali, do the environmental thing and turn out the lights. In school we learn to capitalize I! Now go roll a fat one and collect your Gov't welfare check.
for the people saying do you want government involved in healthcare.. well if the government is lousy at it then the public option should be no threat at all to the private companies. the insurance companies and the healthcare industry and the pharmaceutical companies are driving this country into the ditch. To stop the outflow of good jobs to mexico, china and india we need healthcare so companies like GM can afford to compete. Buy American whenever you can and support the American worker!
who is he? he's the creep that did the lap-dance with the banks and credit cards then rewrote bankruptcy laws so people in hock with medical bills... are screwed. and new laws so the banks could smoke your 401k's. it all fits together. and grassley is the controlling demon from hell. blame the iowan nutjob voters for buyinh his good ole boy act every election time.
umberto that is a good point. you can be middle class and be bankrupt and lose everything with one illness. the people who are so against health care reform don't give a shit about anyone but themselves but if they suddenly lost their house and everything they owned because their kid had to have chemo and surgery or a transplant they'd change their tune.
Amen! I've been fortunate to not have a health care horror story, but I was denied benefits when I was unemployed because of a pre-existing condition. That was enough for me to see through our bullshit current system. Then I read about the horror stories and studied the issue. If you do that, then you cannot be against a public option. Those that don't want reform are simply ignorant, stupid, misinformed, lucky, or all of the above.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Grassely is right. You don't like what your company pays your for your health care insurance, find another company to work for. Stop begging the government for a handout.
actually disparate plans are compared all the time ...cost/benefit isn't rocket science. I guess I'd ask the Senator if his plans had caps or exclusions. I'm betting it doesn't.
yeah, until you get denied benefits for pre-existing condition or some other crappy stipulation. just because you pay for your health care, that doesn't mean that you're exempt from your private health care provider completely fucking you over. ask the thousands of people that have paid their premiums only to have converage denied when they get a serious illness. you are not "all set" there buddy.
I know all about pre-existing conditions and exclusions. Yes, some people have problems with their insurance companies. This is why we have a court system, Ever heard of someone fighting the government for S.S. disability. This is what you will get in terms of your medical bills. This is GOVERNMENT. Do you really want them making decisions about your life?
Well, I would rather trust the government than a faceless, profit-driven corporation. Since we thankfully have someone in the executive that believes in making government work instead of having people that want to ruin government, I do trust the bill in Congress. In face, it has guaranteed coverage - no denials of benefits. So, what was the problem again? You lost me with your rhetoric. I guess you love corporate profits.
Yes, you did answer the man's question, and it was basically "I got mine, and the hell with you! Let them eat cake?" Is that it, Senator Grassley? You greedy, depraved bastard!
Get a job you Gov't leach! The only fascists I know are on the Left..Stalin..Lenin. Mao,..Castro,...Obama, Apparently you can pay for a computer and internet service...buy you own damn insurance or go begging to your fellow libs for help!
You're a filthy, selfish asshole! Everyone should love their neighbors as they love themselves. You have to have no soul to not give a shit about the poor who die every year in this country because their illnesses go untreated until it's too late!
Where the hell have you been...this post is only 2 months old.....so kiss my wealthy, filthy, selfish ass! The poor go to the emergency room and get treated for free you moron! Go help them yourself! Give up your pc and internet connection and go pay for some poor souls health care you liberal hypocrite!
Chuck you are a disgrace! Chuck during the Clinton administration didn't you submit an amendment to create a mandate to require all Americans to purchase health care. Now you oppose it. CHUCK YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!

Yes. Chuck said, "I pay 32%."
That answers the question, "what percentage do you pay?"
But the questioner asked, "why is your insurance so much cheaper and better than mine?"
That is quite different than the question, "what percentage do you pay?"
Isn't it.
Chuck said that he answered the question.
In fact, Chuck answered a different question, a question that he would RATHER have been asked.
This is how "responsability" works.
