Speaker Grassley's Remarks on Medical Freedom

Nice to finally know where Speaker Grassley stands on the medical freedom issue.

To summarize what Speaker Grassley said: 1. What we’ve already done is already working well 2. When it comes to the federal government, we just need to continue to monitor and only push back but not too much to ruffle any federal dollars... err, we mean feathers! 3. I won’t commit to a specific strategy with a specific bill because we will just be reactive and do the least amount possible (so we can pander to our base and provide some cover during the next campaign) 4. Admit he never answered the question but that’s the mentality of “his” legislators
