Grassley says Republicans won't repeal Affordable Care Act if they retake Senate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, of Iowa, said this week that Republicans will not try to repeal the Affordable Care Act if they retake the Senate in November's midterm elections, the latest signal that the GOP is abandoning its long-running effort to scrap the health-care law also known as Obamacare.

Grassley, 88, was among the most vocal opponents of the law when it was being debated by Congress more than a decade ago. Back then, some Republicans had falsely claimed that a provision in the ACA would create "death panels" that would decide whether older Americans should live or die. At the time, Grassley did not push back against those claims and told Iowans that they had "every right to fear" the health-care law.

According to video posted by the liberal news website Iowa Starting Line, Grassley was asked about the future of Obamacare during a town hall in Waukon, Iowa, on Monday. An attendee mentioned that her two adult children receive their health care coverage through the law.

"If you and the Republicans get back in power, is that again going to come up to be repealed? And if you do, what is the Republican plan to provide affordable health care for my children?" the attendee asked.

I am sorry, did Grassley not get the memo? Or has his dementia finally started.
