On a conference call with Iowa reporters yesterday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said he’s looking to assemble a new bipartisan group to work on health care reform.
Grassley said he’s reaching out to have senators from both parties — and from neither of the committees that are currently working on reform, the Finance Committee and the HELP Committee, The Hill reports.
The hypothetical group would offer amendments to whatever bills come out of those committees.
“I think, though, that it’d be very helpful for people who aren’t on the Finance committee or even the HELP committee…would kind of take the bull by the horns themselves and try to coalesce around something that could eventually become more bipartisan,” he said.
