The bill simply allows you to have a conversation with your doctor about YOUR wishes for end of life care - whether it's to be wired and tubed to every machine, or to go home with your family and how that might be possible - and have that optional conversation with your doctor PAID FOR, instead of YOU having to pay out of your own pocket. PS - a REPUBLICAN congressperson wrote this provision into the healthcare bill, pro-life Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia. Grassley is out and out lying here.

This is NOT in the HB 3200 or in any other bill approved by the committees of the House or the Senate. Why would he deliberately lie? Could it be that he gets over $2M in campaign contributions from the health care industry? LIAR LIAR -- he should know better.

The people of Iowa deserve better - much, much better. If anyone should be concerned about fear, it's Senator Grassley - he should be very afraid that he will keep his seat in the Senate.

Grassley chooses to use fear, especially aimed towards the elderly or their families, as a tactic in what should be a very serious, reasoned debate. This is shameful. I am disappointed that Sen.
