The Republicans want to gut grandma.
Now, they don't say it this way, but it is true. Waffle though they might try, Boehner just told Wall Street Republicans are willing to gut Medicare. Y'know, John Boehner, the Speaker of the House.
The most power Republican in the nation.
That's right. The most powerful Republican in the nation still wants to gut Medicare. Said more clearly, Boehner want to gut grandma.
Medicare is a social insurance program administered by the United States government, providing health insurance coverage to people who are aged 65 and over; to those who are under 65 and are permanently physically disabled or who have a congenital physical disability; or to those who meet other special criteria
The benefits include Hospital Insurance, Medical Insurance, Medicare Advantage plan and Prescription Drug plans
That is one way to describe Medicare. Here is another: it gives grandma the medicine she needs to live. Take away grandma's medicine, and she dies. It gives grandma a bed in a hospital when she is sick. Take away the bed and she dies. It gives grandma the operation she needs. Take away the operation, she dies.
Republicans want to gut Medicare? Nope. Republicans want to gut grandma.
Or even better:
Republicans want to kill grandma.
Now that is what I call framing.
