I called Grassley about ACA repeal. Again.

I said verbatim, "If I can't get any health care without some financial help from the government then I can't see any reason why the Senator should get any with the help of MY tax dollars.". And I am calling Ernst soon about the same thing. Why should my tax money go to help these parasites when they don't want to help me?

And the lives of their family and friends. Real world consequences are harder to deny or ignore.
