AARP Position on Health Care Reform

[alatide]

They're interested in making mony, not in taking care of their members.

Oh, I forgot. AARP is a communist front organization, right?:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Maybe, I don't know. But I do know from my grandparents, great-aunts and uncles, parents, and other older family members that it is not an organization for the rights or even most of the time even caring about the problems that older people have. They take dues but are very unresponsive to the ones that give them money.

Have you seen the ads?

AARP is now spending millions of dollars pushing the program through advertising.

They must stand to make oodles of money under Obamacare.

I thought you supported Capitalism?

AARP has always been a leftist organization and I have never belonged!

I believe I will join!

I boggled my mind when the AARP supported Bush's revision to Medicare and THEN the ads for AARP insurance started.

Supporting Bush's Prescription extension to Medicare was definitely a mistake. I personally was glad to see AARP announce insurance. For those of us who will count on Medicare (don't bet on it) it's good to see group plans come along. I think the only thing they offer right now is Medicare extensions.

Spending money for advertisments is Capitalism.
Supporting Socialised Medicene is, ....well, socailism.

As far as health care is concerned, I choose socialism. :thumbsup:

Then why is the AARP Medicare Supplement more expensive than their competitors?

BTW - AARP does not own any insurance companies. They just get their Name attached to another company's product and I'm sure get a big cut!!!

What's sad is you don't recognize the nature of socialism.

It's not an a-la-carte restaurant.

When you give government too much power, it doesn't like to give any back.

Do you often boggle your own mind? :laugh:

$500 Million in 2007.

It's all about money.

Waiting months to get an emergency MRI? Being part of a lottery drawing to possibly get a health care provider? Needing to travel to a country with a capitalist form of health care in order to get adequate medical attention? I can sure see why socialized medicine makes so much sense! Yippee! Where do we sign up??
