It's apparent that the Republicans are pushing to keep the most expensive parts of Medicade

[thunder rising]

Accomplishing two things:
1 Scare uniformed seniors (abusing their trust in their Senators)
2 Run the cost of the outcome up.

They say that "seniors lose benefits" without saying that the new programs etc keep the benefits in place. The premise is that it's not the same hence it's scary.

These Republican assholes (now Crapo ... that's a name?) are disenginuious and will see people die to keep the appearance of their relevance.

2. Medicade? That sounds like it would taste really nasty.
