Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Seniors Concerned About ObamaCare Have Alternative to AARP Membership: "Americans are up in arms about the government’s attempted takeover of health care, and no group seems to be more energized than senior citizens – which makes sense, as those nearing the end of their lives often need more health care than those in their younger years, and would be the ones most likely to suffer when care is rationed under government strictures.

The AARP’s official stance on ObamaCare is hard to pin down. Obama made the claim that the senior advocacy group is “on board” with the White House-backed plan. The AARP denies any endorsement, yet one should note that they have not come out against the measure either.

AARP members are concerned – and perhaps rightly so when one considers that the AARP joined forces with the SEIU (Service Employee International Union) to launch a multi-million dollar promotional campaign called “Divided We Fail,” which seems to endorse some kind of universal healthcare. The SEIU, by the way, is “solidly behind the President’s health reform plans including the public insurance ‘option.’” If the AARP hasn’t made up its mind, why muddy the waters by partnering with a group that is gung-ho for socialized medicine?"
