AARP disagrees:
While insurers and some seniors are against proposed cuts to Medicare Advantage, others -- including the AARP -- say the program can be revamped.
"We believe that by reducing these overpayments, we can save money, lower Medicare costs [and] help insure seniors," says AARP spokesman James Dau. "Their children and grandchildren will have Medicare waiting for them," adds Dau, whose organization has 40 million members.

Earth to Dold, Cadigan, or Green, a story came out today on npr, basically saying Illinois has the worst state health care in America. Seeing as how that is coulson's entire campaign, you might want to put out a snappy statement thanking her and blago and stroger for such failure.
It's kind of move congressional candidates who want to have office space near hawk n'dove, make.

Who is Coulson again?

There's one born every minute.
So why hasn't AARP (big business lobby group)suggested this 'reform' before the gov't run healthcare debate?
"whose organization has (had) 40 million members."
Fixed that for you Anon 3:58.
