Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 21, 2012
Well, I say to my colleague from Iowa, it is interesting that we take a look at this and so many promises that reflect one specific promise, ``if you like what you have, you can keep it.'' I practiced orthopedic surgery for 25 years, taking care of families in Wyoming. Many of those families included family members who were on Medicare, the program for our seniors. Senator Grassley has made some reference in his earlier comments about seniors, people who are on Medicare, people who are having a harder time finding a doctor. This health care law clearly had an impact on seniors as well. So I would ask my colleague from Iowa, are there specific things the Senator has been hearing as he travels around the State and visits with folks at home in terms of perhaps promises made specifically to seniors and those broken promises related to Medicare?
