GOP's Grassley Rips Obama's Empty Promise On Healthcare

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa charges that President Barack Obama's healthcare legislation "isn't doing what it was supposed to do" and has failed to stop spiraling healthcare-premium increases nationwide. "The president promised that premiums would go down $2,500. Well, what people are going to find is they're going to go up $2,500, not down $2,500," he argues.

Grassley says voters may have to wait until 2013 for the repeal of Obamacare, because GOP senators don't have the votes to override a presidential veto. But until then, he pledges to do whatever he can to defund or modify the president's signature legislation.

Insurance premiums are going up because the insurance companies are using this as just another excuse to raise rates!

He is absolutely wrong. This legislation is doing EXACTLY what it was intended to do-start driving the cost and accessibility of insurance to the point where the only place you can get it is from guess who. That has been the game all along.
