Sen. Grassley is a very influencial senator with years of tenure. I find it very disturbing that he has come out in support of our Congess requiring Americans to buy health insurance.

Grassley: Lawmakers Want Health Mandate
Sunday, June 14, 2009 10:55 AM

A Republican senator with a leading role in the health care debate says Congress is more likely to support requiring individuals to buy health insurance than mandating coverage through employers.

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa says there is nothing wrong with requiring individuals to buy health insurance. He plays down the argument that it's an infringement on individual freedom.

Grassley says that an individual mandate for health coverage doesn't tie coverage to employment.

Grassley says he believes there is bipartisan consensus on the issue. Bills in the House and Senate would require people to purchase insurance if they could afford it.

Grassley appeared on "Fox News Sunday."
