AARP: "Erp?"
The AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons) caught many of its members by surprise in supporting the Medicare plan that passed in the Senate yesterday and now only needs the signature of the President. Some were so surprised that they have cancelled their membership, leaving said AARP (is that the sound a dog with a speech impediment would make?) in the dubious position of having to defend itself to its members. Meanwhile, the AARP does not have to defend itself to the drug manufacturers that advertise in their magazine ("Seniors, you need DRUG, fine print is on the back), or to private insurance companies (Seniors, spend what little is left of your Social Security (soon to be privatized by an Administration near you) on your private health plan!).
