Why only for seniors. I’m sick and tired of subsidizing the people that caused all of these problems.
I am 70 and still paying income tax on my retirement. Wife can’t go to a nursing home because we worked and have a house. Can sign it over and still live here. Or Nursing Home wants 6, 000 dollars plus her social security. And, lawmakers don’t give a s*** about White People!
It’s a trap!
What a concept! Thank,you...
Bipartisan = good for all!
Wait? There isn’t a reverse “resistance”!!
I expect we will see more of this prior to the election. do nothing for three years and the fourth make it look like they want to get things done. who falls for this republican crap?
When he isn’t saying, don’t worry about the GOP taking away your health care because the system will save you from us.
Why just seniors? Other people on limited means also use prescription drugs
We want more
samdmid If you really want to lower prescription drug costs you have to get rid of the Pharmacy Benefit Managers like CVS Caremark & OptumRx. They steal tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars from independent pharmacies & employers alike. How can Drug processors be in Fortune 500?
What about the rest of us? Why not lower drug costs for everyone? Oh wait your a senior.... now I get it!
What are the chances that McConnell allows a vote on it?
Whatever....
So now they need a medal for doing their jobs? Politically popular bill, by the way. Not a stretch.
Way to go
Crossing the aisle is the only way good legislation gets passed.
This bill has merit and should probably pass if not butchered with amendments. But make no mistake, Grassley is pushing it mostly to inoculate the GOP against healthcare-motivated backlash in 2020. 1/2
MoscowMitchMcConnell won't let it go to the full Senate anyway.
He lost my respect when he chose party over country and refused to allow Obama's SCOTUS nomination to move forward. For shame.
Pandering at its worst. Unveil a bill to lower ALL Iowans' drug costs, not just the ones that are likely going to vote for you and your buds ChuckGrassley
And the money to do this comes from where? BTW, did Chucky say anything about saving the funding for Social Security and Medicare?
realDonaldTrump ChuckGrassley many older americans like me support totally lowering drug costs mr. Grassley. we must break the backs of the drug companies-- they are run by total psychos.
Isn’t he being primaried?
Do you think MassacreMoscowMitch is actually going to let it through the Senate tho, especially if it's been vetted by Democrats? (Doubtful...but give Grassley a participation certificate for trying! Lol!)
If only we could be working to lower EVERYONE’S drug costs and not just seniors...
it's not about sides, it's about courage
i remember this face during the kavanaugh hearing. i know america has short attention span, but damn, i was traumatized by that hearing...
WatchYourRepsSC thank you ChuckGrassley thank you
Nothing wrong to with the parties working together, as long as the interests of the people are being addressed (and the action proposed is budget neutral.
RMLawing Hope the geezers re-elect you gramps..
but the taxscam was all CorruptGOP. that's how that worked.
When he's not bashing people for just wasting their money on 'booze or women' anyway...
ChuckGrassley Can you lead the rest of the GOP to work with TheDemocrats to EndGunViolenceNOW
Why is the Republican party against helping poor people, sick people, and seniors ? Why are they against the teachings of Christ Jesus ? Grassley is an exception obviously .
yeah...big pharma doesn't control our politics...not at all.🙄
Good man. I think so much of politics today isn't R vs. D, the conflict is within R and within D. There are still some good people in Congress.
How about the rest of us fucknut?
Okay but like lower everyone's drug costs and better yet, give everyone access to medicare
The invisible parameters set by each party has clearly delayed accomplishing goals that benefit the people. Glad to see that both sides worked together to get this done, and I hope even more will be done by both parties working side by side.
Good job Chuck.
We need more bipartisanship. Division doesn't work.
He only cares because he’s old and it affects him. Hypocrite!
We as a nation need a lot more of this traditional political thinking from both sides of the aisle.
(2)** Trump & Donald Trump is he- ChuckGrassley hasn't spoken out about all of this Trump racism, kids caged, these Mass murderers, gun reform-NONE of it... but he wants a pat on the back for doing a little something for people that are as old as he is! GTFOH FOSSIL FUKKKER!
Some of my medications have doubled since the first of the year, budgeting is not a joy.
I think this is a part of the problem what do they expect us to do give them a cookie for doing their damn job- just because he had a sudden attack of doing a little bit of something to try to get reelected we should all just say oh great-- ChuckGrassley is Donald
Looks like you’re getting ready for retirement. Gotta have slower drug prices for you, am I right?
Whoa! WTH? Am I going to have to throw away my “Chuck needs a nap” shirt?
Unless it comes to confirming judges when Obama was president. He picks low hanging fruit and sells it at a profit for himself.
Why just lower drug prices for seniors? Cuz they predominantly vote republican? Govern for the country, don't just pander to your base if you want props, Grassley.
Old ass grassley must be in need of cheaper drugs...
So he makes no apologies for doing his job? Way to give our leaders a participation trophy.
sounds like somebody trying to get reelected to me because he really should be doing something about the gun reform legislation-- he hasn't said a single solitary word about that and we just experienced mass shootings back to back!

She aligned herself with the cartel, whose drugs harmed or killed many. Her smug look = guilty. imo the headline should read “self defense,” not “murder”

NPR Choice pageNot good. We don't want her. She is gonna have to resign too. She had no interest. The law is pushing her to move. The senate has an agenda and will not confirm anyone who isn’t their ally. Lots of corruption from President of Senate. Sad day for PR people who overwhelmingly wanted him to stay. 🤦♀️
