While AARP has not directly endorsed any bill - they are running adverts in support.
Edited on Sat Aug-15-09 07:29 AM by YewNork
There are advertisements on TV by AARP in support of reform and claiming that there are people who are spreading lies to stop reform.
Plus, their website has a huge section on false claims by opponents of health insurance reform.

Do you think that AARP, a very powerful lobbying group, would be pushing for change that would harm seniors by reducing Medicare benefits?

Tell them to check out AARP's website. www.aarp.org

And if they say that AARP has said that they haven't endorsed the current bill, it's because the bill hasn't been completed yet. Until the bill is
finalized they can't be expected to make a decision on it. But the fact that they oppose the people trying to stop change should tell you that
they believe it will be good for seniors.

where they underwent a right wing coup within the leadership and they endorsed that POS of legislation. They do the right thing and I may join.
