I don’t understand AARP’s interest in this one way or the other.

Has nothing to do with the seniors, has everything to do with Obama and his corrupt buddies selling out seniors for their socialist ambitions.

The way I understand it, AARP sells the type of Medicare supplemental insurance known as a medigap policy. Other groups, such as Humana, sell a type of policy known as Medicare Advantage. The proposed health care plan is apparently going to reduce payments under Medicare Advantage plans because they tend to be more expensive for the government. That reduction will make medigap plans more attractive and probably throw more business to groups like AARP.

AARP is nothing but a Democrat Party political operation to con senior citizens out of their money. Promise the senior citizens something for their membership dues (like discounts on hotel rates, insurance, etc. Note: they still have to pay for these things.) Then funnel large contributions (of membership dues) to Democrat candidates while making noises about "supporting" senior citizens. I my opinion, there are many such scams like AARP masquerading as associations, clubs etc. that exist to "help" their membership while using the funds to support Democrat Party politicians and policies.

AARP sells insurance. Insurance companies will get huge windfall profits from this legislation.

Isn’t AARP in control of key facets of a medical accounting process used throughout the Country?

AARP was taken over by leftists a long time ago.

It’s inevitable. Going liberal is the universal trend for every organization.

From conservative founding to present day, each of the following institutions have followed the rule of a gradual slide into the pit.

The United Methodist Church,
Harvard,
The Girl Scouts of America,
The Republican party
The United States of America

The AARP would be an anomaly if it hadn’t become dominated by liberals.

They’re just out there to destroy Medicare and ensure fewer doctors accept medicare patients.

Actually, I have no clue why they’re supporting this trash. It’s completely nonsensical and antithetical to their stated mission.
