Alan Grayson: GOP ‘Crisis Junkies’ Still Believe ‘Die Quickly’ Is Good Health Care Plan

One of the most memorable moments of the fight to get Obamacare passed in the first place was when Congressman Alan Grayson got on the House floor and said the Republican plan is, “Don’t get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.” That was the moment that put Grayson in the national spotlight, and he told Ed Schultz on Friday that in four years, the Republican plan has not changed one single iota.

Regarding the spate of Obamacare hearing being organized by Republicans, Grayson said, “The Republicans have been crisis junkies now for months, if not years. They lurch from one crisis to the next to the next, whether it’s the government shutdown or the debt ceiling or anything else. Now they’re smear junkies.”

He then repeated the same line from four years ago, that the GOP’s solution for health care is “if you get sick, die quickly.” Grayson elaborated, “It’s been four years, I wish they’d prove me wrong!” He also took a shot at the tea party, suggesting “Whine Party” as a more appropriate name.

Hey a..wipe, you libs just took away 6 million Americans health care.

Its not 2012 anymore.

Obamacare has been born.

And even with this you delayed the worst parts of it till the election is over.

6 million is a drop in the bucket by the end of next year it could be 100 million

Did Grayson sign up for BOzoCare? A lot of people are going to be on the wrong side of history. However, they’re so dishonest and/or stupid they’ll either spew out more b.s. or swallow more b.s. in an attempt to rid them of personal responsibility.

“Did Grayson sign up for BOzoCare?”

He seems to be happy with Obamacare. I assume that Obama gave him an exemption.

It sounds like Mrs. Grayson’s little Alan is off his meds again. The boy ain’t right.

Dude... I bought a plan on the exchange...only costs me $500 per month but I get "free" colonoscopies and mammograms.

Uh, but you're 27. And if you get sick everything up to 10K is out of your pocket. And as a male, why would you need maternity care?

Dude, Obama CARES. That's why I voted for the guy.

Don't try to harsh my mellow with things like "details" and "reality".

Grayson, you idiot, that's not our health care plan that's our holiday message for you.

I’m sure Grayson is going with an ACA plan through the healthcare website. Just to set the proper example. :-)

Actually we my want a “self deport fast” policy for folks such as yourself, Alan, who worship the great Marxist revolutionaries of our time. You know them Alan: Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Barrack Obama. Those are the guys you fantasize about.

Seems to be the message of Zerocare in earnest. Don’t get sick, and if you do, die quickly.
