Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL)
Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson, summed up the GOP health care plan last Tuesday from the US House floor:
“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. Remember the Republican plan: Don’t get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.”
After saying he was inspired to read the Republican health care plan by the paper-waving GOP lawmakers at Obama’s recent address, Grayson summed up his findings with a few simple pieces of posterboard. (Video)
“The Republican health care plan: don’t get sick,” he said. But, he added,”The Republicans have a back up plan in case you do get sick … This is what the Republicans want you to do. If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly!”
Republicans had demanded an apology for the “Die quickly” remark on House floor. Grayson refused, saying the next day:
“I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner to end this holocaust in America.”
The Florida congressman, who is Jewish, confirms today that he has written an apology to the Anti-Defamation League, saying, “In no way did I mean to minimize the Holocaust… I regret the choice of words, and I will not repeat it.” 
That’s likely to be as repentant as Grayson gets. He’s certainly not letting up on Republicans — “knuckle-dragging Neanderthals” as he called them Thursday. (Video)
Washington Wire knows quite enough has been posted on this brouhaha. But indulge them for just a bit as they culled Grayson’s greatest hits at House Financial Services Committee hearings where it seems at times he’s trying hard to best Chairman Barney Frank at pugnacity.
Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn tells Grayson that the Fed has promised not to publish the names of its borrowers. Grayson, who has been a congressman for a week at that point, snaps: “What gave you the authority to say that? Isn’t that something that we should be deciding, not you?” Click here.
Grayson to Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit: “You tell me, Mr. Pandit, where I can get a deal like this… You get 100% of the upside and the government gets 90% of the downside, correct? Have you heard the phrase, Mr. Pandit, ‘Heads you win, tails I lose’?” Click here.
Grayson to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner: At what point is enough enough? Why didn’t anybody stop AIG from accumulating that kind of risk and then turning it over to the taxpayers? Click here.
Grayson to the Fed’s inspector general on its off-balance sheet transactions: “I’d like to know, if you’re not responsible for investigating that, who is?” Click here.
Grayson to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke: “Is it safe to say nobody in 1913 contemplated that your small little group of people would decide to hand out half a trillion dollars to foreigners?” Click here.
Rep. Grayson, no class, no facts, a thug, soon to be voted from office and Moonbat. Indeed!

Repubs all agree that the current health care system needs major changes. They had 8 years to propose something with control of all 3 branches of the government. Why didn’t they? Because the GOP health care plan is ‘Don’t get sick’…they have no plan!! What do you think of that Don?

I think if one was really is not a hack partisan they could very easily find a GOP healthcare plan right here.
And, it also seems an intelligent observer would understand that the GOP did not always have control of the government as Democrats had control the last 2.75 years in the legislature. Imagine that!
So Ari, that’s what Don not only thinks but what Don actually knows. Thanks for coming here for the facts.
The truth will set you free.
