| Re: Medicare Bill. I went to a condo meeting tonight, with 60 "seniors"- |
|
FYI, just for the hell of it I asked "how many agree with AARP on this support of the republican medicare bill? " result: at least 50 said no. I know that our condo has lots of republicans. Plus I roamed around the aarp.org "Legislative & Elections" discussion board and most of the talk is against the republican bill.

| 1. I think a lot of people were shocked by the AARP's endorsement |
|
My guess is that they think it may be the best "first step" they will be able to get from this congress, and that it could be built upon later.

| 3. Thanks for posting this, AlinPa. So great to know seniors are not fooled! |
|
Shame on the AARP for endorsing thie egregious giveaway to the pharmaceutical and managed care companies.
AARP is NOT a disinterested party. They sell prescription drugs (at exorbitant prices, I might add) and supplemental health insurance. These ought to be conflicts of interests when it comes to representing Seniors regarding Medicare!
