AARP stands to gain quite a bit if Obamacare passes. Take for example how they stood to gain when Congress passed the Medicare bill last November.

MILLIONS IN ROYALTIES. A study by Harvard Medical School indicates just how much AARP stands to gain. It estimates that companies with AARP contracts will likely get 10 percent of the new insurance market. With its royalty rate of 3.9 percent of premiums collected, AARP could receive $1.56 billion in additional royalties over the next decade.
And they really don’t care about their members. From Mlive.com June 27th 2009
In the Thursday e-mail sent to Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee health policy staff director David Bowen, AARP lobbyist Nora Super spells out the deal:
“I cannot recommend a letter of support or a major grassroots effort in support [of the health care reform bill]. Indeed, people will probably have to be critical, particularly about that provision. I hope you won’t force us to do that on such an important bill that I know you all have worked so hard on,” she wrote in the email.
“Again, AARP wants to be supportive, however, we also need to feel as if the concerns of our members have been heard,” Super wrote.
Yes, we at AARP really care. Horseshit.
Watch this video as the senior citizen mob takes over and AARP turns tail and runs out of the room. However, since the meeting was continuing on without them, they came back and spouted a little more bullshit, then took their toys from the sandbox and left again.
Damn those gray-haired radical mobsters.

AARP is one of the most profitable insurance & financial services company on the planet. They don’t now, and never have had the best interests of aging people at the core of their so called “not for profit” business. 2006 revenues were over $1 billion…with a B! It all started with an insurance agent selling horseshit med policy supplements to retired teachers from the NRTA.
Scam with a capitol S. They’re gonna sell out ther 35 million members for a long term commission structure…….
