Grassley tells constituent: If you want good health insurance, ‘go work for the government.’

And here is a Senator, representative of the Party of No, that is so out of touch with his own state and his own insurance coverage! And I guess from his response in the town hall meeting is that we should all fax our resumes to the Senator for a job just for the good insurance coverage or become government employees on the payroll so that we can now have a solution to our healthcare problem in this country.

Thinkprogress:

During a townhall in Waukon, IA Tuesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was asked by a constituent of his: “Why is your insurance so much cheaper than my insurance and so better than my insurance?” When Grassley struggled to explain the details of his own health care plan, the elderly man followed up, “Okay, so how come I can’t have the same thing you have?” Grassley said, “You can. Just go work for the federal government.”
