AARP is a front for some powerful insurance companies..whose interest is
not the retired or disabled...but wringing more money out of the government
that will directly go into corporate coffers.
AARP's paid lobbiests not only collect signatures and cards from their
membership but also contributions...so the corporation outlay for lobbying
is paid for by the people who pay AARP premiums and dues.
"Finding a Cure" is of little priority to them.
That's my opinion from the mail my mother receives from them..she believes
them...they are slick.
