AARP increases employee insurance rate…claimed would decrease under Obamacare

AARP Abandoning its Membership

A non-profit, non-partisan (supposedly) membership organization for people age 50 and over is receiving sharp criticism after announcing it is raising healthcare premiums for its employees.

In September 2009, AARP insisted that ObamaCare must be enacted to reduce the cost of healthcare. But now, that same group is raising the cost of insurance for its employees -- a move Dr. Larry Hunter, president of the self-professed conservative alternative to AARP, Alliance for Retirement Prosperity, calls "treacherous."
