The worst thing that can happen is for them to make this more palatable. Why? Because every single government program always gets bigger and worse as time goes by. This idiot republican is making this bill more attractive so that it passes and then it just gets worse. Grassley is an idiot. Helping Obama getting his way.

maybe he realized that whatever political party appointee is in charge of these panels will deny care to anyone who is not a registered member of the same political party. nothing like killing off the opposition, iranian style.

You’ve got that right, kill the thing dead. No government run health care.

They will make it happen one way or another. Doesn’t have to be in the law. It’s one of their goals. They are creative.

Anything can be taken out; when the Senate and House get together then they will add it back in. We know how Congress works.

Chuck, Chuck—JUST WALK AWAY FROM THE BILL, DUMMY!

Why is the GOP so stupid?

The Dems do not need ONE GOP vote to pass this monstrosity.

They need to say—none of us are voting for this abortion of a bill. Reasons? Just list those given by the regular folks at these town hall meetings.

The GOP has been given thise great gift of a horrible bill that they can skewer the Dems with, and what do they do?

They run around like a bunch of twits in a Monty Python sketch.

Palin and Rush are only two putting themselves out there against the bill, with some help from Beck, Hannity, and Levin.

Where the hell is McConnell, Steele, Bonior, etc?

If Grassley, Snowe, etc. had any patriotism in their veins they’d be doing all they could to kill the bill. Then they could take up meaningful reforms: tort, regulatory, etc.

Fat chance with these guys.

The great dirty secret, if any provision is in either of the original Senate OR House bills when they go to reconciliation can mysteriously re-appear in 'midnight / behind closed door' sessions. Then it is a straight up and down majority vote and Presidential Signature.

Grassley can say anything but DC Insiders know that you never say never until the end bill comes to vote. With the Dems in charge, my vote is 'NO NO NO'. Besides, as others have said any bill written this obscurely and grotesquely needs a wooden stake through its center in the light of a full moon and then doused with Holy Water!

“...take out pages 1 through 1,017. that’s a start.”

You betcha, because you know this ‘plan’ still isn’t good enough for Grassley to participate in personally.

Uh, how can you take something out that supposedly wasn’t in there in the first place? He needs to be reported for making fishy comments.

No thanks, Chuck.
Either kill this thing off, dead, or get out of the way.

Agreed.
Its not the government's business. IF they want to 'help' - work on tort reform.

Frankly, I'm more worried about these attempts to make this bill more 'palatable'. The people promoting it are liars who will lie about anything to push marxism on an inattentive people. Get people to agree to a 'shell' of health bill, and then they'll shove the rest of the stuff into it later.

This bill doesn't need to be tweaked - it needs to go into the shredder.

I think that they are, yet again, going to find out that the people (especially the seniors) aren’t as stupid as they seem to think.

This is just a hogwash smoke screen.

Grassley figures he has to do something.

Sure they can take out ending your life provisions today, but they can put them back in next month, next year or anytime down the road if they get 0bamacare passed.
