Scroll down for a discussion on AARP S*cks. within the Health Insurance Reform Forum.
What's with the big AARP endorsement B.S?
You guys ever compare their indie offerings underwritten by United with the regular United plans?

We have. They are more expensive for less coverage. I don't know about their med. supps, but ...
And how about the A.M.A? My understanding was that most doctors within it are against this bill (Public option).

AMA is for it, as long as it starts and ends with reduced insurance premiums. Once it goes any further, well, the support will be pulled.
Are you a "senior"? I am. So we're all so stupid that we are being "duped" by AARP.
I guess that with your superior intelligence you know better than we do when it comes to our own welfare. Why am I not surprised?
And as always, the contrarian is obliged to offer an opposing view just for the sake of doing so. At least you are consistent.
And equally foolish, I am compelled to respond to his nonsensical retort.
We all already know your asscertion, also as always, is based on nothing quantitative so what’s the point in this exchange?
It’s the weekend, why don’t you run along to the mall or something?
Ooooooooh, yummy.
I wonder how many of the total membership are opposed?

After that endorsement, 10,000 physicians logged onto Sermo.com, an online physicians' community, to voice their opinions. According to the Sermo Web site, of the doctors who responded, "94 percent do not support the bill, and 95 percent state that the AMA does not speak for them with its endorsement."

You guys don't realize that reform is actually good for business. I think proper advertising and consumers interest might drive a wave of opportunity. People will want to know their options, and unless you are trying to sell insurance to the homeless this bill might drive a wave of new policy sales.

I am old enough to be an AARP member but I am not. They do not speak for me. Their lobby efforts are not in the best interest of our nation. The insurance products they sell are not in the best interest of their constituents.

Well, why is it the largest consumer association in the USA?
I know, because everyone over 60 (whatever their age limit is) is stupid.
Why is it that when the vast majority agree with you neo-cons we're so smart, but when we won't follow you back to Alabama of 1958, we just dumb as hell?
You arch/neo-cons should try to appeal to us as a voting group (because we DO vote) instead of treating us like the idiots you believe us to be.
Entitlements? There is a lot of money out there so why should it go to your Wall Street bankers and your big-ag companies who support your politicians. We have the numbers and we can usually get then out on election day. What do you got? A handful of "take away" and a mouthful of "no." Oh yeah, ins. dave as your spokesperson.
I was surprised to learn as you may from a little homework that by some counts only about 14% of physicians and no more than a 1/3 belong to the AMA today. In addition a primary source of revenue for the AMA is derived from the maintenance and management of the medical billing codes used by the profession. A niche that would be significantly enhanced with the passage of this legislation, in other words they stand a lot to gain. Hardly a picture of all the doc's of the world standing around holding hands isn’t it?
I havent figured out what AARP's take away is on this, you would think they would limit themselves to expousing those interests of their membership, just like the trial lawyers assoc stand up against tort reform, (though they didnt need to get too vocal since their congressional f%#k buddies took care of most of this for them), but AARP seems to be contradiciting a large percentage of their membership, so they must be looking down the road to position themselves for some benefit. Perhaps they expect to become the "Exchange" to the senior market,
