Dan – I spoke with Senator Grassley today at the Senate about his amendment proposal. As it picks up buzz, he says he hopes that people don’t think that he’s “pandering” with it.

“I’m the author of the Congressional Accountability Act,” he says. “That was passed in 1995. Prior to that, Congress had passed 12 laws from which it exempted itself. I thought it was wrong to have one law for Congress, and one law for the rest of the country. I got that passed, and now we all have to abide by the civil-rights laws, the labor laws, and the minimum-wage laws. So, it is quite natural for me, in the Finance Committee, to ask congressmen and their staffs, and everyone on the Hill, to be included. And since this is going to be called Obamacare, the president should be included as well.”
