The house narrowly crammed the Pelosi Obama Care Bill down the taxpayers throats yesterday on a vote of 220 - 215. At least we had our Congressman Dennis Rehberg having enough sense to vote no on the 2,000 page bill that no one in Montana has even read. Can we count on the same good sense from Senators Baucus and Tester. Give them a call to remind them to at least let us read the bill before voting to give away up to 1/6 of our national economy to yet another government take over
The AARP claims to be all about representing the interests of seniors, but when it comes to health care reform, they are selling seniors down the river to line their own pockets.
ReplyDeleteThe AARP has endorsed the gargantuan PelosiCare bill that just passed the House, despite the fact the bill proposes more than $400 billion in cuts to Medicare, which is certain to lead to rationing, inferior care and "death panels" for vulnerable senior citizens.
Why? As they say, follow the money. PelosiCare will also cut Medicare Advantage by $170 billion. Medicare Advantage allows seniors to purchase private insurance with their Medicare payments, but these cuts will drive many of these seniors into inferior Medigap plans.
AARP has a vested interest in seniors being driven out of Medicare Advantage into Medigap plans because AARP makes a fortune in royalty fees from Medigap plans. More than one-half of its $1.1 billion budget comes from such royalty fees, and Medigap plans make up the biggest share of this royalty revenue by far.
The more seniors are forced out of Medicare Advantage into Medigap plans, the more money AARP makes. In other words, under PelosiCare, seniors lose but AARP wins - big time.
Even the Washington Post noted the conflict of interest on Oct. 27, when it said, "Democratic proposals to slash reimbursements for...Medicare Advantage are widely expected to drive up demand for private Medigap policies like the ones offered by AARP."

Howdy,
ReplyDeleteWe hadn't read the 28th Amendment. Just another reason to vote the band of thieves we have running our country out of office. Cheers, B&C
Amendment 28
Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.
So! What in the hell happened
I cancelled my AARP membership when I saw them endorse PelosiCare!
ReplyDeleteI am not renewing my AARP membership because of the support of the Pelosi bill.
