What do the Pros think of a Republican strategy of going after AARP? I say have at 'em. Tells me AARP has really damaged itself with its customers on this issue.

GOP Report Charges AARP Getting "Kickbacks" In Dem Health Care Bills

By Philip Klein on 9.22.09 @ 4:15PM

One of the subplots to the health care debate I've been following is the cozy relationship between AARP and the Obama administration, as the group has thrown its full-throated support behind the Democrats' health care push even though their membership comes from the age group most opposed to Democratic health care proposals. Today, House Republicans have issued a report providing evidence that AARP is in a position to recieve tens of millions of dollars in "kickbacks" if Democratic health care legislation becomes law.

"In other words, under the Democrat bill, seniors could pay as much as 20 cents more out of every premium dollar to fund 'kickbacks' to AARP-sponsored Medigap plans than Medicare Advantage plans," the GOP report charges.
