RE: the debate over health care legislation
DA: Wednesday, August 19, 2009
Senator Chuck Grassley, Ranking Member of the Committee on Finance, issued the following statement this morning about the debate over health care legislation.
"I've said all year that something as big and important as health care legislation should have broad-based support. So far, no one has developed that kind of support, either in Congress or at the White House. That doesn't mean we should quit. It means we should keep working until we can put something together that gets that widespread support."
