Are you planning on medicare gap insurance like AARP’s? I would make a change if that were true. But can’t do that and lose my insurance. Could you make this clearer?

I like the fact that AMAC will actually consider the requests submitted by its members. My thought: Keep Obama and Government Control out of my health care, period.

My wife & I have been a member of AARP for 15 yrs…I always thought that if anyone would have an affordable health insurance program for the elderly, as us, AARP would be the one to have it…Not True…I called and asked why are they so much higher then other insurance supplements for the elderly…I also told them with with so many millions of members, if anyone today could present a low income 100% covered, both pre existing and new medical problems, supplement plan , with the money AARP takes from us it should be AARP…I am very dissapointed with AARP and their management of the situation today…Am a disabled vet from the 60′s, and I also use the VA, but fortunately we fall below the threshold, where all my services are provided at no cost, but each year have to take a means test at the VA, to determine with your income what you will pay for services and prescriptions if you make more then $15,000.00 a year…We just barely make ends meet now with what we get, and it’s a shame that the government when you fill out this means test, looks at your savings, if your fortunate to have savings as a yearly income…That counts toward the total gross income threshold and if you go over, like we did before my wife retired, I use to have to pay $8.00 for each prescription…Now x that buy the 15 different prescriptions I take, and it was killing us…When I came out of the service in 69, everything from the V.A. was provided free gratis for serving honorably…10 years later they changed all that with what they use today to charge Vets depending on their annual income and savings…We are quickly loosing so many of our freedoms, that I fear one day there will be a coup in D.C. It’s about time the Senators, and congressmen we vote in start doing their jobs of representing us and not the political machine and lobbyists, that line their pockets now…That cost of living raise they took from us this year, went as a raise to the politicians…Go Figure!!!!!

Stop Obama Care now before it gets voted in otherwise it will be almost impossible to reverse it.

Good to see people wakening to the danger in allowing government to legislate itself power and a class of people allowed to vote themselves money. Ben Franklin would be proud. Government should never be trusted with your life, they would budgetize it and just like the post office grew competitors, you would look elsewhere to live better.

How can anyone with any integrity vote on a piece of legislature that they haven’t read. I would be surprised if any of our senators or congressmen have read the entire health care bill.

When are the Politicians and everybody realize that we don’t want our Health Care played with. We don’t want 540 Billion dollars taken form Medicare and give Health care to Illegal Aliens. I don’t want to pay for Abortions. I want the Gov out of my life with Obama Commi care.

I have never in all my 68 years witnessed the absolute brazen attempts by this administration to thwart the will of the people,”we do not want health care now”!!. This is nothing more than a Socialist power grab and they lie , cheat and make thier own rules to accomplish whatever it is they want. Obama said “see who I surround myself with”, well if that’s not enough to send you into orbit, nothing will. They are nothing but Chicago mobsters under a new name and think they can Hijack our country.
We need to make serious noise and back it up with serious People and,”right now”…
