Last year, AARP backed ObamaCare knowing full well that millions of seniors would suffer. Why? To protect its profits. Now, the AARP lobby is inserting itself into the Washington debt ceiling debate:
The AARP, formerly the The American Association of Retired Persons, sent U.S. senators a letter last week asking them to oppose any increases in Medicare copayments. […]

AARP IS AT IT AGAIN
AARP GETS ANOTHER PERK FROM OBAMACARE
We all know that AARP supported ObamaCare because of the Democrat plan to herd millions of seniors off their popular Medicare Advantage plans back to traditional Medicare—-which will require the purchase of Medigap plans from which AARP derives 70% of its income.
Well, that wasn’t the only payoff the AARP got for betraying its members. Remember […]
VIDEO: AARP HEARING OPENED BY REP. CHARLES BOUSTANY, MD
Dr. Boustany is the new Chairman of the Ways & Means Oversight Subcommittee and he opened today’s hearing with a useful summary of why Americans, particularly seniors, should be concerned about the activities and motives of AARP:
AARP has morphed into an insurance and advertising powerhouse. According to the most recent data we have, AARP, Inc. and its for-profit organizations […]
AARP WILL RAKE IN $1 BILLION FOR PIMPING OBAMACARE
As I wrote in today’s column for the American Spectator, AARP’s endorsement of ObamaCare was all about the Benjamins. But unlike Judas, whose perfidy came at the cut rate price of 30 pieces of silver, AARP will scoop up a cool billion dollars for betraying its members:
Based on … estimates of declines in Medicare Advantage enrollment […]
THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR RETIREE PLUNDER
My latest column for the American Spectator discusses the betrayal of seniors by the AARP and the upcoming congressional hearing to which its principals have been summoned:
The unholy alliance between AARP and the Democrats on ObamaCare has not been lost on the new Republican majority in the House. Two members of the Ways and Means Committee, […]
AARP SHIFTS HEALTH COSTS TO EMPLOYEES, LIES ABOUT REASON FOR OCARE SUPPORT
The people who run AARP, like their fellow quislings at the AMA, decided early in the health reform battle to betray its members. Now the organization’s employees get to foot the bill by paying 8 to 13 percent more next year on health insurance premiums. They use “medical inflation” as a fig leaf, but the obvious reason for the increase is ObamaCare:
AARP […]
HEALTH REFORM: WHO GOT PAID OFF?
Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to open debate on its version of Obamacare, so it’s worth reviewing the huge amount of taxpayer funded bribery that has enabled this farce to continue.
The American Medical Association, as I discuss here, will receive a bribe exceeding $200 billion. Not a bad take for a group that represents less than […]
BRIBES FOR THE AMA AND AARP
I’ve written about this before, but the behavior of the AMA and AARP has been so cynical that the tawdry tale bears repeating. Dick Morris does a good job of summing up the blatent bribery that led to their endorsements of the fraudulent House “reform” bill that passed this weekend:
The American Medical Association (AMA) was facing a 21 percent cut in […]
AARP BETRAYS ITS MEMBERS
AARP has joined the quislings of the AMA in endorsing the House version of Obamacare. It’s hard to imagine a more obvious conflict of interest. A key feature of the House bill is finishing off Medicare Advantage, a popular alternative to traditional Medicare. It will force about 10 million seniors back to traditional Medicare.
Why does that […]
AARP RUNS CYA AD CAMPAIGN
Last week, I wrote a post about AARP’s complicity in Obama’s planned destruction of Medicare Advantage, a very popular program among the organization’s own members.
AARP’s obvious conflict of interest got a lot of play in the blogosphere and a variety of other conservative media, and this apparently produced an angry backlash.
So now the organization has produced an […]
