Most old farts like me don't go near aarp because they know its pravda west!
Any kind of public option/government role would be terrible. Look at single payer nations, worst healthcare systems on earth, and this would just be more in that direction. The countries that do it best have a private market that is heavily regulated by the government, no direct government branch.
Some idiot on that site actually cited Medicare as being why people want this public option because "it had been so good". Well, it might have been good for a while, but once again, another Ponzi is going to come to its knees at some point and Medicare/Medicaid will do it way before SS will.
Wrong. It depends on how you ask that question. And AARP has lost millions of subscribers, as they did my wife and I a few months back, because of their liberal stand on issues we will not tolerate our $$ going toward. You folks that still belong to AARP need to look deep into that spin machine.
The liberal media isn't giving this much play is it?
NO: Obama administration defies congressional subpoena on Ft Hood docs...

The Obama administration said Tuesday it would provide more information to Congress about the Fort Hood shootings but continued to defy a subpoena request for witness statements and other documents.
After days of negotiations, the Pentagon and Justice Department informed a Senate committee that they would not comply with congressional subpoenas to share investigative records from the Nov. 5 shootings at Fort Hood, Tex., which killed 13 people. The agencies said that divulging the material could jeopardize their prosecution of Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, the accused gunman.

If you talk to any of the victims, you'll see why they would want to suppress it.
We better nab this radical islamic cleric before more of his kind hit our shores. Although Obama is trying to make it easier for them.
Yemeni cleric calls for killing of U.S. civilians
An American who has encouraged Muslims to kill U.S. soldiers in the past is calling for the slaying of U.S. civilians.
CAIRO (AP) — A U.S.-born cleric who has encouraged Muslims to kill American soldiers called for the killing of U.S. civilians in his first video released by a Yemeni offshoot of al-Qaeda, providing the most overt link yet between the radical preacher and the terror group.
Dressed in a white Yemeni robe, turban and with a traditional jambiyah dagger tucked into his waistband, Anwar Al-Awlaki used the 45-minute video posted Sunday to justify civilian deaths — and encourage them — by accusing the United States of intentionally killing a million Muslim civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
American civilians are to blame, he said, because "the American people, in general, are taking part in this and they elected this administration and they are financing the war."
"Those who might be killed in a plane are merely a drop of water in a sea," he said in the video in response to a question about Muslim groups that disapproved of the airliner plot because it targeted civilians.
Al-Awlaki, who was born in New Mexico and is believed to be hiding in his parents' native Yemen, has used his personal website to encourage Muslims around the world to kill U.S. troops in Iraq.
He has emerged as a prominent al-Qaeda recruiter and has been tied by U.S. intelligence to the 9/11 hijackers, the suspects in the November shooting at an Army base in Fort Hood, Texas, and the December attempt to blow up a U.S. jetliner bound for Detroit.
For U.S. officials, al-Awlaki is of particular concern because he is one of the few English-speaking radical clerics able to explain to young Muslims in America and other Western countries the philosophy of violent jihad.
