Senator Chuck Grassley's come out.

He's supposed to be one of the moderate Republicans, everybody laugh along with me.

And back to the idea that in fact Obama, healthcare program might pull the plug on grandma.

Let me read your quote from Senator Grassley from Iowa.

There's some fear because in that house bill, there's counseling for end of life.

And from that standpoint, you have every right to fear.

Of course, because the Republicans love pushing fear, every right to fear.

You shouldn't have counseling at the end of life.

No, of course, you should be an idiot.

And you should make decisions, first of all, you shouldn't plan ahead, but if you do,

you certainly should not be counseled by a medical doctor as to what choices you'd like

to make.

No, no, you shouldn't have counseling.

I agree with you, Grassley.

You ought to have counseling 20 years before you're going to die.

You ought to plan these things out.

All right, so that's fair enough, at least he's saying that.
