About Me

With its great resources and strength, AARP helps our 3.4 million California members make their own choices, reach their goals and dreams, and make the most of life after 50.

AARP's vision is to excel as a dynamic presence in every community, shaping and enriching the experience of aging for each member and for society.

AARP California's 2008 legislative and policy successes included: improving the reporting of infections in California hospitals; preventing harmful cuts in the state budget; and defeating of Proposition 98, an initiative that would have eliminated rent control. AARP California also led the successful statewide pro-Proposition 11 fight, working both to get the initiative on the ballot and to build support for its passage in the general election. This new law will establish the kind of open and transparent process of drawing congressional district lines AARP believes is necessary to ensure Californians can elect politicians who are willing to work together to find common sense solutions to our most pressing problems.

More than 495,489 AARP activists and 1,100 volunteers in California work to engage federal and state elected officials on issues of importance to Californians age 50+. Our volunteers also serve members and communities through events, forums and presentations across the state. Education on key issues draws Californians from diverse backgrounds and is conducted in various languages, and consumer awareness efforts provide tools and information of vital importance to the community at large.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 19, 2009

 

WASHINGTON—AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond released the following statement applauding the House on its passage of H.R. 3961, the Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act of 2009:

 

“We applaud the House for ensuring that millions of people in Medicare will have the peace of mind of knowing that they will be able to keep access to the physician of their choice.  The Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act will fix the flawed Medicare physician payment formula and eliminate a looming 21 percent cut to reimbursement rates.  With today’s vote, the House has taken a major step towards reforming the physician payment system so doctors will not only continue to treat existing Medicare patients, but also accept new patients.

 

“We urge the Senate to act promptly on behalf of older Americans and the physicians who care for them and ensure that an unwarranted physician pay cut does not threaten access to care.  With only weeks to go before the cuts go into effect, the time to act is now.”
