AARP sells its members down the river for what promise from the White House?

The counseling provision is supported by doctors' groups and AARP, the seniors' lobby. It was not included in health care bills passed by two Senate committees. However, it is back in the new 1900+ page bill announced today as a 'historic moment', as each previous version presented by Democratic leaders was also titled when it was first made viewable to the public. This last sentence though begs the question to ask about where was the transparency that the POTUS promised in the process to create this bill. He even stated that the public would be able to view the sessions via C-Span.

However, the bill revealed today by Nancy Pelosi was written not only behind closed doors, but locked doors.

Update:

froggy, you are clearly missing the point.

Update 2:

AARP, is one of 'special interest' groups that liberal always complain are the ones fighting this bill. Now, they can see that there is a large one that is selling out it's members...for what? In each version of the bill by senior Democrats, it calls for cutting billions from Medicare.

    Transparency was just a word on the Ayatollahs teleprompter. He only read it and most likely did not hear himself. When you scream and shout every word you utter it is impossible to hear yourself. I guess that his style of strictly that of his mentor Rev. Wright. This promise of transparency was only a campaign gimmick which no intelligent beings believed anyway. However, that does not dismiss the fact that it is one of many many lies this scoundrel told in the campaign and continues everyday. As for Nazi Pelosi she is a boil on the @$$ of humanity. This is the most despicable piece of dog crap I have ever seen. It is inconceivable that even the gays, burned out druggies, and illegals of San Francisco could continue to send this beast to congress.

    PS: I tore up my AARP card and demanded my membership money be returned.

    what ignorance. I think everyone of all ages should have a living will, so family and the gov does not have to put up with the BS that happend with terry shiviro. Palin is a stupid ignorant witch and is just trying to cause the gullible and uneducated to start chaos with that "death panels" BS. You have got to be kidding. People are actually trying to turn this around into a bad thing? Why shouldn't the dr talk with his/her patient about this? What the hell is wrong with that? What idiots.

    If human beings think of the AARP isn't representing their perspectives they could desire to not be a member. in case you prefer to alter an employer eliminate it rather is funds then they hear. I agree the AARP woman became nasty yet that tape became enormously editted. we don't recognize what became happening there.

    how do you think the insurance companies come up with their arrangements? Live on CSpan? Let's be honest here--they needed time to hammer out the details before presenting the proposal to the public. Juries need private time to deliberate before announcing their verdicts, judges need time in chambers before making a ruling. This is no different.

    When they send me postage free return mail, i send it back to AARP with a little note inside.

    I hope everyone does too.
