AARP MA is now on Facebook and TwitterNov 5 Blog: House Health Reform Bill Helps Seniors
From the AARP Massachusetts Online Community, November 5: Last year, Patricia Liberti of Salem and her husband spent upwards of $15,000 on health care costs. Today, AARP endorsed the House health reform bill. AARP MA State Director Deborah Banda believes the Affordable Health Care for America Act, improves benefits for people like Liberti. Learn more in today’s blog.
AARPMA says:
Thanks for your comment. The bill isn't perfect. But there are so many provisions that would make our broken system work better for older Americans, critical components that AARP fought hard for, including: ensuring seniors' access to doctors so they can see the doctor of their choice or find a doctor if they need one;
preventing insurance companies from denying affordable coverage to anyone because of their health or their age; closing the Medicare Part D coverage gap, or "doughnut hole"; and ensuring that people who already have coverage through their employers, including retirees, don't lose that coverage.
AARP is proud to endorse the Affordable Health Care for America Act. We urge members of the House to pass this critical bill this year and finally fix our broken health care system.

AARPs leadership is a bunch of traitors, cowards and thieves. You have sold out your members and now Obama can tell all Americans he has the support of seniors. At the very least AARP should not endorse anything political but AARP has endorsed the worst bill ever written. What promises did the White House give you? What was the price did the White house pay. AARP like the AMA has become a political activist group that supports liberal and radical change that not only does not benefit seniors, it hurts them
