Grassley:No Death Panels In Health Care Bill
Grassley:No Death Panels In Health Care Bill – Chuck Grassley appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” with Bob Schieffer earlier today where for the very first time he debunked the crazy rumor that he contributed to,that claims that Democratic health care legislation would allow the government to “pull the plug on grandma”.The senator said:
“I know the Pelosi bill doesn’t intend to do that.It won’t do that.”
The Republican explained why he repeated the absurd comment few weeks ago by saying:
“I was responding to a question at my town hall meetings.I let my constituents set the agenda. A person that asked me that question was reading from language that they got off of the internet. It scared my constituents. And the specific language I used was language that the president had used at Portsmouth. And I thought that if he used the language, then if I responded exactly the same way, that I had an opposite concern about not using end-of-life counseling for saving money, then I was answering and relieving the fears that my constituents had.And from that standpoint, remember, you’re talking about this issue being connected with a government-run program which a public option would take you with, you would get into the issue of saving money, and put these three things together and you are scaring a lot of people.I know the Pelosi bill doesn’t intend to do that. But that’s where it leads people to.”
