Rep. Grayson: "GOP Health Plan: Don't Get Sick. If You Get Sick, Die Quickly:"

On Tuesday night, Rep. Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) took to the House floor to give his take on the GOP health care plan. His opinion: Don't get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.

Grayson said he was inspired to read the GOP health care plan by the GOP lawmakers waving it around at Obama's recent health care reform address. He summarized the proposals of the GOP on posterboard.
"The Republicans' health care plan for America: don't get sick. That's right, don't get sick. If you have insurance, don't get sick. If you don't, don't get sick. If you're sick, don't get sick. Just don't get sick. That's what the Republicans have in mind for you, America. That's the Republicans' health care plan.

But I think that the Republicans understand that that plan isn't always going to work. It's not a fullproof plan. So the Republicans have a back up plan in case you do get sick, If you get sick in America, this is what the Republicans want you to do. If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly! That's right, the Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick.

Now the Democrats have a different plan. The Democrats say that if you have health insurance we're going to make it better. If you don't have health insurance we're going to provide it to you. If you can't afford health insurance, then we'll help to afford health insurance. So America gets to decide: Do you want the Democratic plan, or do you want the Republican plan? Remember, the Republican plan, don't get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly."
Alan Grayson didn't stop there, however. On Wednesday, he continued his assault on the Republicans.

House Republicans called on Alan Grayson to apologize. He refused. I say, if Joe Wilson didn't apologize to the House (he apologized to the President through Rahm Emanuel), why should Grayson?

Alan Grayson did apologize, of a sort. He said, “I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner to end this holocaust in America. “I think that the Democrats are sick and tired of being kicked around with death panels. We’re sick of it. They have nothing to offer (on health care) themselves.”
