Why does AARP support the Democrats health care reform?

1. In 2008, AARP received $652 million in royalties from insurance companies that sold products referred by AARP,  AARP received another $120 million for ads placed in their publications. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Surprising-Talk-From-AARP-by-John-Basel-090924-673.html

2. Royalty revenues now comprise more than 60% of all AARP revenues.  In 1999, royalties were only 11%.  http://michellemalkin.com/?s=Hmmm%3A+Is+the+AARP+getting+kickbacks+from+Obamacare%3F

3. AARP has spent tens of millions of dollars on advertising and an aggressive public-relations campaign. http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/55207-aarp-faces-test-on-healthcare-reform

4. AARP endorses a huge reduction in funding of Medicare Advantage, which has over 10 million middle-lower income seniors.  This If seniors are forced out of this program they will become potential buyers of the very profitable Medicare Supplemental program sponsored by AARP.  http://michellemalkin.com/?s=Hmmm%3A+Is+the+AARP+getting+kickbacks+from+Obamacare%3F
