The AARP is the largest provider of "Medigap" policies, which are designed to "bridge the gap of coverage" between what providers charge for services and what Medicare pays. So it's no wonder that the AARP supports Obamacare. They know full well that Obamacare will slash Medicare leaving millions of elderly twisting in the wind. Many of those who lose coverage would be forced to buy Medigap policies, thus padding pockets of the AARP which already clears million of dollars in profits from those policies. Thankfully many seniors are smart enough to see the AARP for what they truly are: shameless profiteers. The sad part of this is that those seniors who left the AARP are going to buy Medigap policies from somewhere, and once Obamacare is enacted policy prices are going to skyrocket. But thank God we're going to cover all those poor people who can "get access" to medical care! I mean....who needs the elderly anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if you check into AARP's leaders you will find a similar relationship. If the Tea Party ever grew into an y real political strength it wouldn't be long before they were taken over.

I had been looking into the switch after their position on Obamacare became known, when the AARP subcontractor aided me in getting off the fence and going now. Inefficiency and the left not knowing what the right is doing in business, especially as it relates to clients is not good business. Buh, bye!
