phreakwars Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 MyDD :: AARP Poll: 8 in 10 Back Public Option AARP Poll: 8 in 10 Back Public Option A new survey commissioned by the AARP asks respondents to what degree they support or oppose "tarting a new federal health insurance plan that individuals could purchase if they can't afford private plans offered to them" -- a public option, in other words. The results are interesting, though not necessarily surprising to those who have been closely following the debate.All: 79 percent favor/18 percent oppose Democrats: 89 percent favor/8 percent oppose Republicans: 61 percent favor/33 percent oppose Independents: 80 percent favor/16 percent opposeNot only does a public option enjoy strong support (AARP finds 37 percent strongly supporting such a choice), it enjoys broad support -- a finding based not only in this new survey but also in SurveyUSA polling released last week. Indeed, a supermajority of even Republicans supports a federal program to provide individuals with a choice for their health insurance coverage, with just a third of the party membership opposing such a plan. So why, again, are supporters of a public option finding such difficulty in Congress?Easy, Lobbyist. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
RoyalOrleans Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 The Democrats and now union officials are up in arms over these organized corporate thugs who are ruining their precious town hall meetings. Take a look at this video of an AARP meeting about healthcare. I love it. The AARP crowd actually thought they were going to going to walk into a room full of people who wanted nothing more than for the government to take complete charge of their healthcare. That's not the way it turned out. The AARP meeting organizer starts out by saying "I think we can all agree that our present health care system is not sustainable .... And I think we can all agree that ... blah blah blah." She starts out the meeting telling the audience what they think. As soon as the AARP lady hears the first dissenting word she starts to loose it. In short order she actually walks out and cancels her own meeting because the audience (with an average age of at least 65) insists on asking questions and voicing their opposing opinions to the Democrat healthcare plan. You can watch this snotty woman unplugging the microphone and taking it with her as she leaves. Watch the video... and then tell me .... are these organized corporate insurance thugs? Do these look like Brooks Brothers protestors? Or is there some slim chance that what you're seeing here are Americans who are genuinely concerned about the future of their country and their healthcare? Then again, Bender, I don't think you know the difference. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
timesjoke Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 AARP is a Lobbyist too, all of their data is manfactured to give the result they want..........why? Because they sell insurance, in fact that is their primary concern, they have not been an advocate for the elderly for a very long time now. Don't forget the behind closed doors deals Obama is cutting with the drug companies to get their support. The drug companies are spending millions of dollars in commercials supporting Obama......why? Because they got a sweet deal to limit competition and to lock in current prices. The Obamacare is supported by just as many Lobbyists as are against it. Quote

And being an insurance company, they must make a profit, and are inherently evil! I guess you are only evil if you are not in Obama's little breast pocket.
