    AARP, AMA give House healthcare bill an 11th-hour boost

    AARP, AMA give House healthcare bill an 11th-hour boost

    The AARP and AMA endorsed the House healthcare bill Thursday. But there are caveats, and some Democrats remain concerned about cost and abortion provisions.

    President Barack Obama makes a surprise visit to the daily briefing to comment about the health care reform bill at the White House in Washington, Thursday.

    Washington

    Just 48 hours before a historic healthcare vote, Senate Democrats racked up big endorsements – and needed momentum – from the doctors and the nation’s leading seniors’ lobby.

    The American Medical Association (AMA) and Association for the Advancement of Retired People (AARP) announced their support for the bill Wednesday.

    Bill O'Reily on Fox tonight said that the reason the AARP is doing this is for what they consider a "winfall" in $$$$ for their health insurance - but O'Reily said it was a very BAD MOVE and a very BAD Bill!

    He said he was amazed that the AARP would throw the Senior Citizens under the bus, which is what this bill will do - by cutting Medicare by the BILLIONS.

    I was surprised to hear AARP and the AMA cast their vote for this healthcare plan. AARP was not for this earlier according to the papers they had sent to me earlier.

    Traitors!

    I wonder how much the AMA and AARP were promised to betray the American people.
