Look at all the Unions who received a waiver. 733 Waivers
From what I can tell, a number of people have suggested that AARP should apply for a waiver. But, I haven't found any evidence that they should.
I think AARP pushed for ObamaCare because of the Medicare reductions. AARP sells Medigap insurance plans, and the reductions will result in more demand for their insurance.
In other words, they did it for more money (from their members).
