Universal Health Care

Aug 17, 2009:  Senate Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said he’d vote against any health-care reform bill coming out of the committee unless it has wide support from Republicans — even if the legislation contains EVERYTHING Grassley wants.

Asked if he’d vote against what Grassley might consider to be a “good deal” — i.e., gets everything he asks for from Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) — Grassley replied, “It isn’t a good deal if I can’t sell my product to more Republicans.”

In short, Grassley says he’s willing to walk away from legislation in which he gets everything he wants because he must side with his party, regardless of the benefit to Americans.
