Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan took the stage in The Villages with his mother Betty Ryan Douglas, 78. The Wisconsin congressman said he saw Medicare's benefits firsthand as a child when his grandmother, with Alzheimer's, moved in with his family. "My mom and I were her two primary caregivers," Ryan said before shifting to his mother and the promise of Medicare for her.
"She planned her retirement around this promise," Ryan
said. "That's a promise we have to keep."
"It's not just a program," he added. "It's what my mom
relies on."
