AARP has long stopped being a senior's lobby, it it just another really big insurance sales operation.

Only the "fair and balanced" Herald would bury this story of huge political importance in the business section.

Of course AARP is in favor of it. They stand to make oodles of $$$$$$$ selling supplemental insurance. They've been in bed with Barry all along on this.

As a senior I burn every AARP offer for insurance.These people who have supported the elderly are nothing more than a bunch of far left commies trying to catch in on those who don't know what they're up to.AARP sucks up to Obamas health bull.
