Default Grassley voted for death panel in 2003

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/0..._n_259750.html

"...Remember the 2003 Medicare prescription drug bill, the one that passed
with the votes of 204 GOP House members and 42 GOP Senators? Anyone want to
guess what it provided funding for? Did you say counseling for end-of-life
issues and care? Ding ding ding!!

So either Republicans were for death panels in 2003 before turning against
them now--or they're lying about end-of-life counseling in order to frighten
the bejeezus out of their fellow citizens and defeat health reform by any
means necessary. Which is it, Mr. Grassley ("Yea," 2003)?


Reps. John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.), who both
claimed end-of-life consultations could result in "government encouraged
euthanasia," also voted for similar policy in 2003..."
