What does AARP hate young adults and children?
AARP, the organization that recruits people over 50 years old with enticements such as consumer discounts available for a membership fee of $8 per year, has come out in favor of the monstrosity known as the House health care plan.
Any of the "reform" plans being discussed by the majority part in Congress "works" against young adults in at least three ways. One, it requires them to purchase health insurance, even when it makes no economic sense. Secondly, they limit the ability of insurance companies to offer healthy people discounts--and face it, most young adults are healthy, so they will take a double whammy. Finally, they will lead in time to massive tax increases (or rationing by government bureaucracy) to cope with the fiscal effects.
A note to anyone who is a member of AARP: Now would be a great time to cut up your membership card, put it in the mail, and send a revocation notice to the organization.
