Rep. Herger Criticizes AARP’s Support for Health Reform
During the debate over federal health reform legislation, "the ardent support of the senior advocacy organization AARP, which was key to its passage, raised a massive red flag with many people," Rep. Wally Herger (R-Calif.) writes in a Redding Record Searchlight opinion piece. Herger writes that a new report released by GOP members of Congress found "AARP's finances stand to grow dramatically under the new health care reform law," which "raises serious concerns about whether AARP is motivated more by its own bottom line than concerns for seniors' well-being."
