Ryan has all the compassion of someone who has never dealt with illness and disability, cared for an elderly parent or grandparent, or watched an older person struggle to make ends meet. He's smug in his little Washington bubble, knowing he has healthcare and won't ever have to worry about choosing between buying groceries or taking a child to the doctor.
Good luck winning over the middle class and older Americans!
Since Ryan's father died when he was a child, off hand, I'd say you were wrong.
