BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- The debate over health care reform got rowdy again Tuesday, this time in Brevard County. The legislation in front of Congress right now has led to a lot of angry debates across the country.
Tuesday, the AARP tried to answer questions from some angry residents there. They all came here to be heard and, with no other public forum offered by congressional leaders in Brevard County, they turned to the AARP to demand answers.
"Why wouldn't AARP insist the government fix Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security before we discuss anything?" one attendee asked.
More than 300 Brevard County residents packed the Senior Resource Center in Viera. A resounding majority of them told the AARP they did not want the so-called "public option," where the federal government provides an insurance plan to compete with the private sector.
Many fear companies will drop private insurance and force them into the government plan and one senior wanted to know why the AARP hasn't publicly opposed it.
"I want to know why you have not done that. I resent that you have not done that," one senior said.

Caveat: I'm having a bit of trouble actually seeing the video myself, but it's most likely due to something I've done on my computer. I am getting the audio OK, but have no video. I hope you have better luck.
Saw your report on the Florida board!
AARP messed up. They failed to understand that they needed to bring their SEIU goon buddies along to keep the peons under control.
That's why I tore up my AARP card several years ago.
I'm happy to report that for over 23 years I've refused to have anything to do with them since they first tried to recruit me when I was fifty. The only drawback is that I can't now fire them. ( ^: }
AARP is a leftist stalking horse.
Quit.
Me too!
Thanks for the link....it works very well on my computer!
