Alan Grayson and Ed Schultz rip Issas anti-Obamacare events: Theyre smear junkies, thats all they ever do
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) and MSNBC host Ed Schultz teed off on Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) on Friday for what they referred to as a traveling circus supposedly focusing on the problems with the Affordable Care Act while ignoring people who are benefitting from it.
The Republicans have been crisis junkies now for months, if not years, Grayson told Schultz. They lurch from one crisis to the next to the next, whether its the government shutdown, or whether its the debt ceiling or anything else. Now theyre smear junkies, thats all they ever do.
On Friday, Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, convened the first of four planned field hearings to discuss the act. The Charlotte Observer reported that about 200 people attended the hearing in Gastonia, North Carolina, along with some protesters who chanted, These sham hearings waste our money.
But while Issa heard testimony from five hand-picked people who said they have been adversely affected by the law, two women who were willing to discuss its benefits told WBTV-TV that they were denied the opportunity, including Charlotte resident Dana Wilson, who explained that, as someone diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as a teenager, she would be guaranteed medical insurance for the first time thanks to the laws requirements.
