Sen. Chuck Grassley faced vocal criticism at a recent town hall in Iowa over his past votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act
In a video of the exchange posted by the progressive advocacy group Progress Iowa, a woman approaches Grassley about the landmark health care legislation and the Iowa Republican insists that -- despite past efforts to repeal it -- the law popularly known as Obamacare would likely not face repeal and predicted ongoing support for its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
The last time we voted for repeal was when McCain voted the other way, and there's no chance of repealing it now. Besides, if we passed it in the Senate, we couldn't get it through the United States House of Representatives. So what are you worried about?" Stone told local outlet KGAN later that Grassley had"evaded" her question and that she planned to follow up with him for the possibility of a private sit-down so he could address her concerns.
