Advisory And Statement

60 Plus Association President Jim Martin issued the following statement today on the House of Representatives health care reform legislation and AARP’s endorsement of the reform plan:

“Members of Congress take notice; seniors have long memories and will hold you accountable next year if you vote to cut Medicare.

“Obamacare doesn’t make sense to seniors at 60 Plus, but AARP’s endorsement makes a lot of ‘cents’ to AARP and their corporate bottom line.

“Either AARP is an insurance behemoth, addicted to obscene profits on the backs of fixed income seniors, or they’re advocates for the elderly. They can’t have it both ways. No wonder AARP members are melting down the phones at 60 Plus headquarters.”

Jim Martin is available for interviews and comments.
