Republicans say a bit too much about their health care problem
"As a mother of seven, Judge Barrett clearly understands the importance of health care," Grassley said. Perhaps the Iowan hasn't fully thought this through

But what I find truly amazing are the implications of Grassley's assertion: people who care about families understand the importance of health care, and those who understand the importance of health care wouldn't dare be so callous as to destroy the nation's existing system.

Oh? Then why is it, exactly, that Grassley's party and president are enthusiastic supporters of the case that intends to tear down the ACA?

Or as Paul Waldman put it yesterday, "In other words, no one who has family members she loves could possibly be so callous, so villainous, so monstrous as to agree with the position of the entire Republican Party and rule the way Republican states and a Republican administration demands. How could you even suggest such a thing?"

If Grassley is prepared to announce his opposition to his own party's pending Supreme Court case, I'll be eager to read his statement on the matter. In the meantime, however, the Iowan's comments appear to do far more damage to the GOP than the Democrats he's accusing of making "outrageous" arguments.

1. Hey Chuck, we the taxpayers are paying for her healthcare

and you are giving her a lifetime to figure out how to take away our healthcare.

Thanks
