AARP's specialist have read the bill and are endorsing what's in the best interest of our seniors. Read the bill and be better informed before disagreeing with what is in agreement with you as an AARP member. READ.

I am a member of AARP. I have worked hard all my life and paid my fair share of taxes and I am very proud that AARP is supporting this desperately needed reform. I will be one that will definetely be renewing his membership. Thanks AARP! Now if Harry Reid will just grow a set and get it passed in the senate, even if he has to use the nuclear option.

The AARP?

Okay liberals. You're going to spout off on how this proves the bill is good, but remember how much you hate those so-called "greedy insurance companies"?

Well guess what? The AARP is in bed BIG TIME with those "greedy insurance companies".

But keep talking.

The AARP finally has come out with this endorsement because they realize, as most thinking folks do, that this bill, even though it doesn't go far enough, will still benefit the vast majority of Americans, including seniors. The only ones who would suffer if it becomes law are insurance and pharmaceutical companies and their lobbyists, as well as the politicians whose palms they grease. True health care reform would not only include a robust public option but would be a single-payer plan, like most of the western world already enjoys. But this is a start, and we'll have to be satisfied with a few baby steps before we can expect our government to start running in the right direction.

Wont matter, pass what they wish. Once unseated in 2012, the Supreme Court will be forced to explore all the unanswered constitutional questions put forth regarding Mr. Obama's citizenry, duality most prominent. If it is determined that he fraudulently accepted the nomination, all legislation under his tenure is up for grabs! Think about it progressive libtards, kind of makes your skin crawl don't it, just like Alan Grayson!

I've not opinion either way, but I have a question. There is talk of Medicare going broke. How will this new health insurance be paid for if we cannot look toward having enough money for Medicare and Social Security? I don't think taxes only on the rich is fair. (By the way, I'm farrrr from rich.)

If the AARP supports this bill they will lose 30 percent of their membership. Anyone who votes for this bill will lose 30 percent of their votes in the next election. This is silly, we need moderation and balance. Not extreme left or right.....The people are not happy with the direction of this healthcare reform.

well so much for wanting to "pull the plug on grandma" I guess. I'm a member of the AARP and will make sure I STAY a member. Who know maybe the NRA will be next to endorse it. As far as you AARP members that now say you're going to quit....don't let the door hit you on the way out and good luck finding good healthcare.

The problem with AARP is their position on issue's is essentially screw your kids and grandkids.

What the? I forgot all about Health Care,

Most of their constituents are NOT happy about this, but like the gutless frauds that are masquerading as Liberals, they are ALSO IGNORING THEIR own people.

Go ahead and pass this with abortion and illegals and medicaid cuts etc, etc fees on EVERYTHING etc, etc, etc taxes on crutches etc, etc, see you next year at the polls.

The republicans PLAN that they put out is smarter, less costly and will provide real savings RIGHT AWAY as competition BUT ONLY private competition is what will bring prices down without costing TAXPAYERS a dime.

Help the legals that can't afford coverage, no pre-existing conditions, buying across state lines, REAL TORT REFORM, MMMMM savings MMMMMM.

Didn't know they put out a plan, BLAME THE MSM who is busy gushing about Obambi's daughter getting a 95 on a test or Palin waking up this morning INSTEAD of giving BOTH SIDES, fair and balanced.

AARP, thank you for taking a stand with the majority of Americans to support health-care legislation with a public option and improved efficiencies in Medicare for seniors.

Great! Now the AARP are Marxist Stalinist communist socialistic atheist aliens who love abortions and hate freedom...

This country is no longer a country! Welcome to the new world order! Pffft!

Thank you very much, AARP! The health care reform will benefit us and our families! No doubt!

I will keep my subscription now, that AARP has sided with the people.

OK, republicans....I dare you to go against the seniors!

That's great news. If the AARP really wants to champion the seniors who are most vulnerable to the healthcare system they should endorse the Healthcare Reform Bill with a strong Govt option. Enough of the shenanigans of the Big Insurance Lobby, Lets get it going. As far as I'm concerned its not going far enough but at least it's a start in the right direction.

Of course they are. They can sell a lot more supplemental insurance when medicare benefits get cut.

AARP you are looosing my support. The gall to support such a plan is unbeliveable.

Everyone wants it but lobbyist and republicans that take the medicine that they are being spoon fed...

Quoting Fox News: "The majority of middle-class Americans covered under big employer plans would not see dramatic changes. But coverage for the poor through Medicaid would be significantly expanded.

Seniors in traditional Medicare would get improved preventive benefits. Also, the prescription coverage gap known as the "doughnut hole" would be gradually closed."

This is a decent bill, even if the public health option is not as robust as it should be. Of course AARP should support it – all Americans should.

YES, YES, YES!!! While the PARTY OF NO procrastinates – the DEMOCRATS are on a ROLL!!!

This endorsement would remind Senior Citizens that what they hear coming from the mouth of the REPUBLI-CAN'Ts is all LIES!! Yes REPUBS, YOU LIE!!!

I do not believe that AARP should endorse the Health care bill. They do not speak for all the seniors. The AARP has made the decision not the members.

AARP has sold out seniors for their own profit. From the beginning they have sided with the Dems on this issue.

The AARP must be getting a kick-back from this administration for their endorsement. Guess the AARP has to get their money from somewhere because they are losing their customers left and right.

This won't make the seniors very happy. Look for AARP's membership numbers to further decline because of this decision.

The AARP organization decided long ago to become part of the Far Left Agenda in America. I withdrew my membership at the Hillarycare fiasco, and then like a fool, rejoined just in time for the trashing of any attempt to revamp Social Security. Alas, here they go again, going against the interest of their own membership. Never Again.

Great!
Now lets get Health Care Reform and Public Option passed!!

Good, I sure hope so.
I just learned, that BCBS raises its premium by 26% !!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a credit-card company.
Who can afford such an increase now?
Why, they need money for all their commercials and all the politicians they are paying to be against the health-care bill.
One more reason for Reform NOW and watch over these insurance companies. They are liars and crooks. Only interest is their profit and not the American people.

To be clear – That's 122 Americans that die EVERY DAY because they can't afford health care insurance...

Members of the AARP are average, decent Americans who know more about the challenges of receiving quality, affordable health care in America than all those hypocritical, self-serving Republican-Fox-TeaParty naysayers who think of no one but themselves and their rich friends. They are more representative of Americans than all the loud critics of health reform and, since "bipartisanship" is dead, the Democrats should go ahead and use whatever democratic, legislative means are necessary to get this done as a Christmas present to Americans

GOOD JOB AARP!

You guys know a good thing when you see it and have stood up for your fellow Americans!

In the meantime the teabaggers are running around the country saying that it's OK for 122 of our fellow Americans die because they can't afford health care and trying to scare old folks like me by saying that Medicare is going to be repealed.

That's the republicans for ya – protecting big insurance profits by killing Americans and scaring old folks...

aarp no longer represents the sr citizens of the usa

I wonder how much their vote costed the taxpayers?

WHY?????????? How do they feel this will benefit the seniors???
The people they claim to represent??????????????

This great news. It should help squash the ludicrous "Don't Kill Granny" movement. Sheeeesh, hard to believe there are grown people out there that buy into these sophomoric scare tactics from the Party of Know-Nothing-Do Nothing (GOP).

I wonder how much they got paid off to do this...

Again...

They better otherwise the Obama regime will spank them just like the Chamber of Comerce.

Bow down or else!!!

I love collaboration. Don't you?

Also, if we wait long enough to vote then no one will be opposed to it. Americans traditionally have a short attention span and don't have the energy for a long political fight.

Thank you, AARP!

If I was a member of the AARP (AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF RED-TAPE PROPONENTS) I would be ending my membership today. Under the demorats' proposal, seniors will suffer more than anyone else. When medicare is scaled up to include everyone (which is basically what this proposal mandates) there are going to be much less resources for our seniors......those who probably need and deserve them the most. Too bad most of them are not mentally sharp enough to realize this simple and predictable fact. I'm not sure whose interest the AARP is really looking out for, but it's not our seniors. WAKE UP GRANDMA! WAKE UP GRANDPA!

I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the American Association of (Liberal) Retired Persons' (AALRP) is backing this abomination.

Why on earth would this organization support it? AARP will lose millions of members over this. This bill is especially BAD for seniors. CNN would love a report from REAL doctors (not Obamas photo op doctors) and how they feel about this. My personal doctor is against it big time.
