If the United States were under attack and 45,000 people had been killed and another million displaced most citizens would expect their senators to be leading the way to stop the dastardly enemy causing this enormous and tragic calamity.
Yet that is happening in the United States, where 45,000 people die annually due to our for-profit health-care system. And more than a million more are displaced from their homes by bankruptcy due to the for-profit health care and health insurance industry.
Tragically, Grassley is taking money from the perpetrators and doing what he can to salvage the system that kills Americans. Certainly, Grassley would like to see the insurance industry score even more profits.
Knowing that, why would anyone with a conscience vote for Chuck Grassley? His priorities are way out of sync with Iowa and the majority of the country.
