This is shocking. The following is an actual exchange with Chuck Grassley at a town hall in Waukon, IA this past week:
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was asked by a constituent of his: “Why is your insurance so much cheaper than my insurance and so better than my insurance?”
When Grassley struggled to explain the details of his own health care plan, the elderly man followed up, “Okay, so how come I can’t have the same thing you have?”
Grassley said, “You can. Just go work for the federal government.”
Government healthcare is excellent, but only for people in government. Like a United States Senator. So go run for Senate -- and if you win, you can have good healthcare.
Bastard people.
