Health Insurance Crisis is Hitting 50-64 Age Group HardAARP Delaware Thanks Senator Carper
It’s good to be first, or so says much of Delaware’s tourism materials. We reside in the First State, and are known for leading the way with great arts, culture, shopping and nature.
However, AARP would like to propose we are first in something else – the first state to ensure that everyone has access to affordable health care. This was the topic of conversation at an AARP listening session with Senator Carper on April 7. On behalf of all our members, I want to say thank you to the Senator for listening. Opening up to hear about the most pressing issues for older Delawareans is certainly a step in the right direction.
AARP members nationwide believe that health care reform is urgent and must be the nation’s top priority. Change to make affordable coverage options available to all is especially urgent for AARP’s 50- to 64- year old population. They are especially vulnerable as the fastest-growing part of the uninsured population in America – and Delaware is no exception.
The fact that Senator Carper is willing to listen gives our members a sense of hope for the future. Thank you again, Senator.

Who wrote this? Why is Carper eliminating the Advantage Choice for Seniors? That program saves me $5,000.00 per year in co-pays and pays for my gym membership?
Is the management of AARP on the take? How can they support a reduction of half a trillion dollars in benefits to the elderly to finance a doubling in the size of government?
Why does AARP support reduced access to health benefits under the rationale that we elderly go to the doctor too much?
Or is this just a ploy to gain political power using with the use of AARP insurance money? Is it really all about the money?
Will AARP report my profile to the White House snitch program to help them silence those who question the political motives about this and other issues?
When did the AARP stop representing the interests of the elderly and switch to an organization that lobbies for the Democratic Party?
