Arlen Specter was on Fox News this morning and was asked about this. He admitted he had no idea this was in the plan. Few apparently did, which was exactly what Daschle suggested: do it on the sly in the name of something else or opposition will build and it won’t pass.
AARP has always been a liberal-Democrat organization. I’ve seen enough of their literature to be pretty clear in that.
And I’m guessing Obama didn’t tell AARP that he planned to let old people die of medical neglect to save money for his government health care.
I wonder if the older members of Congress will have this same health care and will be denied medical procedures due to their age? </EXTREME_SARCHASM>
“AARP has always been a liberal-Democrat organization. I’ve seen enough of their literature to be pretty clear in that.”
Agreed, they are, and that’s why neither my wife nor myself ever joined that organization.
“And I’m guessing Obama didn’t tell AARP that he planned to let old people die of medical neglect to save money for his government health care.”
Possibly, but I don’t think it would have mattered to the leaders of the AARP if they had been told. They are in the tank for Socialism IMO.
