Despite Early Denials, AARP Endorsing ObamaCare

Add AARP to a LONG list of organizations and institutions infiltrated and controlled by anti-American traitors. Clearly, the Marxist Agenda is not the AARP agenda.

AARP = ACORN for geezers

[Secret Agent Man]

So it appears the AARP is stoking the gas ovens with the bodies of its membership. Wow, talk about screwing your own supporters.

Ought to rename them to Benedict AARP.

[coincheck]

THIS is the reason I will never join AARP, they keep sending me the applications and I keep shedding them. Useless leftist organization.

Well of course AARP is on board with ObamaCare. THey have to do something to make the payments on their fancy downtown DC office building and to fund their payroll of do-gooders! “Membership” fees just aren’t enough!

I think AARP has been promised the administrative contracts (Read $Billions & $Billions)by the obummer crowd if they deliver the seasoned citizen heard.

Of course you are right—they already administer some government contracts—AARP is just a government contractor and I am not kidding about the fancy DC digs, either. Who do you think is paying for that? HINT-it’s not private money!!!

11/5 UPDATE - Obama just got off of CNN lying about the DeathCare Bill and AARP’s and AMA’s support!

I hate the marxists at the AARP.

My wife insisted that she join the AARP, and so I get some of their communications in my junk e-mail. This one came today:

Over the last several months, AARP has fought hard for crucial components of health reform that will improve the health and lives of our members and their families.

The House of Representatives will vote on a final bill this week that includes key priorities for older Americans. That's why we've chosen to support the legislation about to be voted on by the House – the Affordable Health Care for America Act. We believe it protects and strengthens Medicare, and ensures that your care will never take a back seat to insurance companies' profits.

Click here to tell Rep. XXXXX to vote for health reform – and help us move this legislation one big step closer to becoming a reality.

I’ll be the first to admit that the bill isn't perfect. But there are so many provisions that would make our broken system work better for older Americans, critical components that AARP fought hard for, such as:

• Ensuring seniors' access to doctors so they can see the doctor of their choice or find a doctor if they need one;

• Preventing insurance companies from denying affordable coverage to anyone because of their health or their age;

• Saving seniors from having to pay thousands in out-of-pocket costs for their prescription drugs by closing the Medicare Part D coverage gap, or "doughnut hole"; and

• Ensuring that people who already have coverage through their employers, including retirees, don’t lose that coverage.

We know that critics and special interests will try to derail this legislation. They will probably even attack AARP for supporting this bill. From my perspective, I couldn't be prouder of the work I see AARP staff putting in to analyze legislation, advocate on your behalf, and constantly evaluate ways to help improve the health of older Americans.

But this isn't and shouldn't be about us. This moment is about reform that improves the health and lives of our members and their families. And, in the end, it won't be the words of the television talking heads or the newspapers – or even AARP – that will ring in your member of Congress' head when it's time to vote tomorrow. It will be YOURS.

Tell Rep. XXXXX to support reform and cast a vote to pass this crucial bill.

As we near the final, most difficult stages of this process, thanks in advance for all your help to ensure that Congress passes reform that works for older Americans.

Sincerely,
Barry Jackson
AARP Online Advocacy Manager

After this blatant attempt to ram 0bamacare down our throats, she'll renew AARP over my dead, divorced body.

4 responses so far ↓ * 1 Maxwell // Nov 5, 2009 at 2:40 pm AARP has long wanted to endorse ObamaCare. It only distanced itself to stop the loss in membership. Now that they’re off the radar again, they’re back in Obama’s pocket. * 2 Eileen Schaeffer // Nov 5, 2009 at 6:49 pm You can’t get through on the phone…I’ve been trying for over an hour, keep getting a busy signal…hope their system crashes I just sent an email to cancel my membership and will follow it up with a letter.. Neither are giving me the same satisfaction I would get by telling them directly … * 3 Ed Johnson, J.D., Attorney // Dec 26, 2009 at 5:34 pm I too am cancelling my AARP membership, and have joined AMAC, which does represent my conservative interests. The leadership of AARP has proven themselves to be a liberal leaning group that endorsed expensive Obamacare, without the consent of their members. AMAC (pronounced A- Mack) is one of the leading groups fighting against President Obama’s health care initiative. AMAC has organized “Tea Parties” and participated in rallies against expanding government and raising taxes. AMAC is pro-life, pro Second Amendment, and thinks government has grown too large and powerful. AMAC feels our elected officials are ignoring the will of the people. The proof of this can be seen in the way Congressmen and Senators have been treating their constituents at the various town hall meetings. I learned about AARP and AMAC at a reliable conservative News Site: http://www.NewsMax.com. Ed Johnson, J.D., Attorney (Ret) Former Assistant U.S. Attorney, United States Department of Justice. Bio.
