He never really answered the question BO put to him.
“Inaccurate”? Hell, he plain lied again to the American People!
Glenn Beck had an AARP spokesman on last week who was defending the plan as great for seniors. Apparently they’re getting a lot of flak from their members.
0bambi birth inaccurate.
AARP is lying. They’ve been running ads in support of health care reform.
I sent them my membership cancellation with the comment that they no longer reflect my views, and that I’d rejoin if and when they’d take a stand AGAINST Obamacare.
How many AARP constituents are “uninsured?”
By 2018, less than 10 years from now, Medicare Part A will be running a deficit of close to $100 billion. General revenue contributions for Medicare Parts B and D that year are now projected to be $364 billion. Consequently, the deficit for Medicare alone that year will be close to $500 billion, and that assumes a scheduled reduction, which Congress will surely reverse, in doctor and hospital reimbursements of more than 20 percent.
good for you- two of our friends did the same. Wish we were members so we could quit, too.
AARP is treading on very shaky ground! I didn’t like their endorsements during the election, and I certainly don’t like them being one of 0bama’s lap dogs.
AARP is probably getting a lot of cancelations due to their obviuous being in bed with Obama on healthcare “reform”. I think Obama will show AARP as the obvious partisan group that it has always been, greatly weakening it in the process. This is similar to the way Bill Clinton just about was the indirect cause of the destruction of the credibility of NOW as a “non-partisan” group.
I hope there’s another group that can effectively compete against AARP, and could profit from this episode.
Lots of seniors were born at night- but it wasn't last night.
Has AARP authored its own proposed version of the plan? I mean like man, they’re about to unleash a million dollars’ worth of male bovine generated fertilizer on us, and to exactly what end is this? Won’t everyone think they’re boosting Obamacare?
Technically AARP is not endorsing ObamaCare. But for all practical purposes they are. I would like to see the back room deal between AARP and Obama. I’m betting that AARP has been promised a major role in the development and administration of Government Healthcare. That’s the Chicago Way.
If the AARP membership was actually sitting on this “city hall” it would make a bit of sense. But no, the headquarters is dictating to these grey hairs what they ought to want.
AARP lies all the time and they've been doing it forever. I couldn't believe some of the crap they used to send my parents. When I saw what they were all about I knew right then that I will never be a member or their group nor contribute even one penny to them.
So I suspect what has happened is that AARP has decided to be neutral in public but support the health plan behind the scenes in order to get their part of the stimulus money.
Obummer, the Fascist, I suspect has been told by his flunkies that the AARP supports but forgot to tell him they don't want it advertised.
If AARP is playing both ends against the middle, which they probably are, they will screw themselves. It is much harder to do so today with instant news over the internet and great outfits like FR putting news up almost the instant it happens.
You said it much better than I.
Thank you.
