Shocker: AARP Gets An Obamacare Waiver
sa ^ | May 20, 2011 | Rob Port

Outside of the unions, there was perhaps no group more ardent in its support of Obamacare than the AARP. The advocacy group spent $121 million on advertising in favor of Obamacare, and millions more lobbying for it on Washington DC.

But now AARP’s insurance business, Medigap which competes with Medicare Advantage (a program AARP lobbied to have hamstrung by OBamacare), just got a waiver from complying with the law.

...

Keep in mind, again, that AARP is set to rake in billions in profits now that Obamacare has effective knocked Medicare Advantage out of the market.

Where’s my EQUAL PROTECTION from ObamaCare?

I tell ya, with some 14th. Amendment suits we can kill this sucker deader than a doornail. The discovery phase alone will probably cause Sebelius to have some sort of breakdown.

People usually don’t give a crap as long as it doesn’t affect or cost them money.

Dear AARP,

As the ultra liberal, dare I say even Marxist, organiztion that you are, KEEP YOUR LAWS OFF MY BODY!

Oh, I guess that no longer applies......

BTW, you dolts, just so you know the new legislation mandates a central database for medical records, maintained by the federal government. So, you are in support of the legislation away of the “right to privacy between a doctor and patient.” To be more direct, you supported the legislating away of Roe.

How will it feel to be hoisted on your own petard!

It took you that long to figure out that they are ultra left?

I still say the best way to beat this is for every single Republican to quit the party, re-register as Democrats, and start demanding equal exemptions in return for their support. Why prop up a faux opposition party when it’s a lot easier to undermine the Left using its own established system of cronyism and preferences? :)

I stuff the prepaid envelopes they send me with scrap, add a personal message telling them why I will never join and send it back. Yes, it’s stupid. I don’t know why I enjoy it so much, and they just keep on sending them.

Why isn’t there a lawsuit challenging on these waivers? The ones who do not get a waiver will be subsidizing those who do.

Campaign issue to be used against Obama and expose the AARP. You know Palin would go there! That’s what it’s going to take to get this to the public. They are confident the media will pass this info over, but it’s an issue that can be used effectively in a campaign. There are PLENTY of these issues to be brought to attention. We know Palin can draw a crowd.

Some people are more equal than others.

Yep. The 10% 'whitey tax' (tanning salons) has been in effect for some time now.

And the Left is also, apparently, exempt from FOIA fees, too.
