'This Is What Happens When the President and Members of Congress Don't Read the Bills' STANDARD BLOG By John McCormack Politco's Martin Kady reports that Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) is none too pleased with Obama's crediting him yesterday for the end-of-life counseling provisions in the health-care bill: Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), didn't appreciate President Obama's shout-out at the New Hampshire town hall meeting this afternoon. Obama said that the voluntary end-of-life counseling in one version of the bill had a Republican sponsor — and he mentioned Isakson by name. And that set off the senator from Georgia. "Isakson vehemently opposes the House and Senate health care bills, and he played no role in drafting language added to the House bill by House Democrats calling for the government to incentivize doctors by offering them money to conduct end-of-life counseling," Isakson's office said in a statement. "This is what happens when the President and members of Congress don't read the bills," Isakson said in a statement. Robert Gibbs has refused to say whether or not President Obama will read the health-care bill.
