AARP Public Policies 2009-2010
See where AARP stands on the issues in The Policy Book: AARP Public Policies 2009-2010. In 2009, AARP updated its policies concerning important issues in health care reform such as cost containment and the expansion of home- and community-based long-term care services. We also added new guidance on policies related to the economic crisis and strengthened policy on key issues affecting Americans over 50, including foreclosure prevention, government integrity, caregiving, and personal and legal rights.
At AARP, we represent more than 40 million Americans over 50, including workers and retirees, people living alone or with families, and people of various financial means. Using our expertise, research, and input from members, AARP develops public policies that reflect our members' concerns and interests. These policies are published every two years in The Policy Book: AARP Public Policies.
