A valid question. After all, the law is set to cut Medicare and Medicaid in a big way. These cuts would affect the target demographic of the AARP, seniors, more than any other group. So why would the AARP lend their support to a law that hurts those whom they supposedly represent?
Well, according to a new report released today, the AARP had some very self-serving reasons for supporting ObamaCare. The report, authored by the House Ways and Means Committee, suggests that the AARP stands to pocket an extra $1 billion DUE TO these cuts in Medicare.
Sounds strange? It does until you take into account how the AARP makes the majority of its money. Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government offers a good explanation:

For the same reason that old folks buy insurance through AARP....they don’t know any better.
Follow the money. It’s all about more money in the pockets of AARP, the DNC and commie ‘RAT politicians. It’s always about the money.
maybe aarp has too many members?
I could see that from the first second. What the h**l took you so long, fools?

It’s all about MONEY!AARP is right up there with some of some of the most greedy, self serving organizations there are on the planet..
AARP is very left wing almost socialistic in its agenda
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
One million...
Two million...
The organization's leftist ideology trumped the harm Obamacare will do to its members.
They could not, under any circumstances, side with Republicans on any issue for any reason.
Oldies! Get under the bus.
This is why everything that AARP sends me unsolicited either gets sent back or trown in the trash unopened. They would welcome Soylent Green if they could make a buck from it!!
I think they are one of the providers of medicare supplemental insurance chose by BO and company.
The most committed socialists are the ones who think they're going to make lots of money off their government connections.
Because they’re a bunch of greedy left wing geezers. Try AMAC instead.
so why do the old people support obamacare???because the majority of old people are really old hippies.....screw them and their communist ways of thinking.....defund everything not necessary to the running of our government..then they will just go away
I WAS getting junk mail from AARP about two or three times a week. I saved up an entire month’s worth and mailed it back to them with a VERY strongly worded, handwritten letter with LOTS of nasty words like COMMIES, Obozo Lovers, FILTHY PIGS...and take me off your mailing list...
That was about three months ago. Not a single piece of mail from them since..
