Granny must die
Because keeping her alive would prevent rich folks from getting their tax cut and reduce health insurance company profits. And that would violate all that Republican/Teabaggers hold dear.

For the second year in a row, Republicans voted Thursday to effectively dismantle Medicare — this time, just over seven months before a presidential election. And Democrats are salivating at the political opportunity, eager to hang the vote around the neck of the party’s presidential nominee and its candidates in tough congressional races...Once again, Republican/Teabaggers will present their Death Panels for Geezers plan as a sweeping reform, as in sweeping seniors out of the population just as fast as they can get sick.
The blueprint by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan is similar to his controversial Medicare plan last year, in that it ends the health insurance guarantee for seniors and replaces the program with a subsidized insurance-exchange system. Unlike last year’s plan, seniors can buy into traditional Medicare as a sort-of public option, and the vouchers it provides are more generous.
