Mom talks about fighting insurance co to get coverage for sick kid. Cravaack says, "Great story!" [View all]
http://www.takedowncravaack.com/aitkin_town_hall_shows_out_of_touch_cravaackAfter one Minnesota mom told Rep. Cravaack how her family struggled to pay for her 8-year-old son’s bone marrow transplant, Cravaack replied, "That's a great story."
Cravaack then proceeded to share how his 80-year-old mother broke her hips and used Medicare to pay for a hip replacement. Rep. Cravaack voted to end Medicare as we know it with his vote for Paul Ryan’s budget.
Cravaack's hypocrisy is nothing new. During his 2010 campaign, Cravaack accused then-Rep. Oberstar of being out of touch with the 8th district. But as soon as he was elected to Congress, Cravaack moved his family to a $645,000 house in New Hampshire.

Getting this tool out is my highest political priority.
