Soooooo, Senator Grassley, let me be sure I have this right, you can give us TEN reasons the bill to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare) should NOT be considered and only ONE reason it should be. That ONE reason is because your party has campaigned on and made promises related repealing Obamacare.  So the facts of the negative impact the ACA repeal will have on Iowans are totally irrelevant to you as long as you keep someone else’s campaign promise?  It is simply time for you to leave office if campaign promises trump the health and well-being of the folks that elected you and Senator Ernst.
With all due respect Senator Grassley, that is the most ridiculous justification I have heard for stripping healthcare coverage from millions of Americans including those who foolishly re-elected you. Have you been reading passages from the Trump Playbook – ya know the one with the fake media verbiage and threats to destroy entire nations if they fail to agree with us? At least those nations provide healthcare for their citizens – Even Trump’s “Rocket Man”!

I am disappointed in you and Senator Joni Ernst. I am embarrassed that our Great State of Iowa, where we prize our liberties and fight to preserve our rights, has two US Senators hell-bent on taking away something as essential as basic healthcare for absolutely no reason other than other members of your party made campaign promises to do so.  Gee, Senators Grassley and Ernst, elected folks have never broken a campaign promise in the past have they?!?  Take a look at your own campaign promises any broken ones?  Better take a quick looksie guys!

A couple of weeks ago I had an appointment with my mental health practitioner. I wrote about all of the tears and thinking that resulted from that appointment right after the event (See Part I of this series on Depression, please). I also shared at that time that I was urged to allow myself to be immediately hospitalized for inpatient stabilization and medication adjustments as well as resuming intense therapy. I refused the immediate hospitalization believing I had things to take care of at home that were far more important than this bout of depression. I did, however, agree that I would allow my practitioner to place me on a wait list for an inpatient bed at the hospital's stabilization unit. My practitioner said it could be many weeks before a bed was available for me. Unfortunately, that bed did not open soon enough to benefit me by stabilizing...

But I was a Victim, Right? | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness

“Maybe if we treated mental illness the same way we do with physical illness, the community would be more sympathetic and caring. Instead of jail, maybe I would have been taken to a place that wouldn’t shut the door on me and watch as I uncontrollably shook my body saying ‘the devil’s inside me.’ Maybe, people would realize judging or generalizing doesn’t give hope to those who suffer from mental illness.” But I was a Victim, Right? | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness : I was twenty-two years old and in my last semester of undergraduate college when I suffered two psychotic breaks. During this time, I was unable to control my thoughts and behavior.
