Thinkprogress:
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-IN) held a press conference yesterday to explain why progressive health reform would hurt seniors and to highlight the GOP’s “better solutions.” In an email yesterday, Boehner instructed readers to go to the GOP healthcare website “and you can see all of our proposals.”
The website ostensibly outlines the “Republican Plan” for “common-sense health care reforms” — but seniors are not addressed in the plans presented. In fact, there are no occurrences of the words “senior,” “elderly,” or “older Americans” at all. An archived version of the website can be found here.
Think Progress asked Pence to address the notable omission. Seemingly unaware of the failure, he merely instructed us to “stay tuned.”

Everyone get the pitch fork and go after Boner Boy now. Just think the largest voters are left out. No worry when the senior vote is needed by the GOP they will come up with some fairy tale story of how it is all the Democrats fault or blame it on President Obama. Now I need more then a Wind Mill to explain a Health Care Plan. Time for Republican Leader Rush Limbaugh to speak up for his Party.
Wow, the backlash from the AARP crowd will be ugly.
Can you spell KARMA for boner boy?
