GOP: AARP Has Financial Interests in Health Reform
Congressional Republicans are accusing AARP of having a conflict of interest in the debate over health insurance because the group receives significant earnings from insurance royalties and could benefit from many of the health care reform proposals. On Monday, three House Republicans sent a letter to AARP saying that the group was putting its "political self-interests" ahead of seniors.
