You may have seen the Obama Administration's TV ad with Andy Griffith shilling for Obamacare. In cahoots with them is AARP who has been contributing to the propaganda by peddling Andy Griffith in its magazine. It's all BS.

"The Medicare payment rates for the doctors and hospitals serving seniors will be cut by 30 percent during the next three years. By 2019, those Medicare payment rates will be lower than under Medicaid, a program in which doctors already are refusing to treat new and sometimes old patients. Thus, under ObamaCare payment rates for Medicare will be only one third of what will be paid by private insurance and only half of what is paid by Medicaid, where as a result of low reimbursement rates the poor often can’t even find access to any care, let alone high quality care."

AARP has been for some time an unofficial wing of the Democratic Party. Unfortunately , waaaay too many seniors take their useless blatherings as gospel, and purchase their endorsed products & services.
