AARP Endorses House Health Care Reform Bill
At a press briefing today at AARP's Washington headquarters, AARP Chief Executive A. Barry Rand said AARP supports the House health care reform bill over other proposals because this plan does more to lower drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries, strengthen Medicare and bar insurance companies from denying people coverage because of their health or age. The bill also would lower premiums for Americans ages 50 to 64 who have to buy private insurance and would create a voluntary long-term care insurance program.
