AARP’s Special Treatment
AARP is exempt from new insurance regulations.
There are just hundreds and hundreds of provisions that most people, even those who think they’re informed, don’t know about it… You can count on every year, for the next six or seven years as this unfolds, that we are going to discover provisions that no one was aware was in that legislation.

This is one of their rewards for selling out the elderly and the disabled last spring.
Many people believe the AARP backed the PPACA (which cut funding for Medicare Advantage plans) to boost sales of Medigap plans that AARP sells. I’m not a proponent of conspiracy theories, but one would ordinarily expect the AARP to oppose legislation that cuts funding for its core constituents by $575 billion over the next decade.
These guys should be in jail. Sharing a cell with Bernie Madoff? That would be poetic justice.
AARP is not an insurance company so they did not recieve any special treatment. the entities who received special treatment are: United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, Blue Shield and any other insurance company who offers medigap insurance.
Does anyone still believe anything that comes out of Fox Commentary?
