Many AARP members are receiving important and improved health care benefits under the Medicare Avantage program.  If $716 billion is cut from Medicare Advantge benefits under OBAMACare, these seniors will lose these benefits. Please explain why AARP is supporting this huge reduction in the Medicare Advantage program which cuts or reduces this program?
