President Obama has hailed a “historic agreement [with drug companies] to lower drugs costs” for older Americans, although some still doubted the government would reap in savings. The government wants to use the savings to pay for coverage of the uninsured.
This could be a boon to Medicare beneficiaries, and AARP praised the deal, under which the lobby for drug companies, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, said it had pledged $80 billion over 10 years to help “reform our troubled health care system.”
Rand wants to help the president to get something for ordinary Americans. He was there yesterday when Obama unveiled the deal with Big Pharma.
We need more like him -- a high achieving African American lending a hand to help pass this important legislation. After all, a lot more African Americans have no health insurance as a percentage of the general population.

It’s all about AARP liberals, and the preferred contracts they will enjoy, not the members of AARP.
AARP has been outed as a shill for Zero; everyone can tell them where to shove their memberships. DEMAND your money back and call them hourly until you get it.
Ha ha. I just got a membership application from them and wrote “Never - No Obamacare” across it with a sharpie and sent it back in their postage-paid envelope.
Come on SENIORS, tear up your AARP (Acorn Association of Retired Persons) and send the pieces to this Obama planted stooge,today, right now, pronto
Response: No kidding!
should have glued a brick to the envelope.
Someone who fails to listen to those members who voted him in???? We have a whole full of them in Washington.
You know, I admire the person who is a partisan in private and then can run their organization in a neutral or politically agnostic fashion. It’s hard, but it can be done.
Those kinds of people are deserving of the utmost respect.
Barry Rand is not one of them.
OK, AARPers - that makes it REAL - Obamacare is supported by AARP officially - time to BAIL on membership - get your discounts someplace else....
Gee, what a surprise. This is why I have been rejecting their solicitations for YEARS!!!
Same here! AARP has been known to be left wing for years.
