New AARP Ad Supports Senate Health Bill

Yesterday, the AARP applauded the Senate for moving health care reform with the following statement:

“This morning, the Senate voted to move forward with debate on health care reforms that will begin to bring needed relief to millions of Americans struggling with high costs and insurance company discrimination. The Senate bill protects the guaranteed benefits that people in Medicare rely on, and makes progress toward ending the rampant discriminatory tactics used by insurers to deny coverage to those who need it most.

“While we will continue to work with Senators to improve the bill to completely close the Medicare doughnut hole and crack down further on health insurer age discrimination, we applaud them for taking the next step toward enacting real health care reform.

“We look forward to the Senate passing its final bill and moving to the House-Senate conference committee where lawmakers can make the final improvements needed to enact health care reform that works for our members and all older Americans.”
