AARP is part of the Obama administration?

I am reading a series of Emails that were sent to me with some video attached to them.

Here is the video that got me to thinking - at 1:11 on the video is where I start to wonder about the question below.

Now here is my questions;

Why would AARP be talking about health care reform of any sort because most of their members are if I am not mistaken enrolled in Medicare?

Why is AARP talking about insurance company issues when a Medicare subscriber is not allowed to use their insurance as a primary insurance but as a secondary?

Medicare is not part of the overall strategy of providing health care to "most of the Americans" who are under 65.

I was thinking of joining AARP when I turn 50 in a couple years. Now, I'm rethinking that position and will do due diligence in getting to the bottom of what ostensibly seems to be their left-wing idealogy.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to be affiliated with any organized religion, political party or lobbying group (such as AARP).

Is AARP nothing more than a socialistic coterie of senior crybabies seeking for others to pay their way? We are being steamrollered by unstoppable socialism. As we approach America's tipping point, push comes to shove?

The video gave me an error.

Try it again Hawk, it worked fine for me.

It`s quite simple. AARP ceased to be a representative group for seniors. This happened when the insurance companies (a main source of revenue to AARP) took over control of that organization. They did it by having many of their own put on the board of directors.

This became crystal clear during the fight over the Medicare Prescription Drug program. AARP took a position that was entirely slanted to the insurance interest. They got their way, and we have a program that is worthless.

AARP IS AN INSURANCE COMPANY

AARP is nothing but a left wing propaganda group that found a "nitch market' and pandered to the seniors....barry paid them just like he did the AMA, most can be bought, its all a matter of price......

And those that cannot be bought will be "taken care off" by "other means". Like a sudden massive epidemic of "accute sudden lead poisioning".
