Who said I was against it? It was Obama who has been villifying them. I thought the left saw them as the enemy. The left is being sold down the river ...again.

Since when is the amount that the insurance companies make a lot of money? I keep seeing from 2% to 5% being what they are making. Is that a lot of money?

This would have been news six months ago when AARP first announced their support for Health care Reform.

Just because they supported it six months ago doesn't mean they would support it as many provisions have been dropped or added. Same with Congress. Some voted against it six months ago are now on board. Some who did, now are against. Same with the AARP.
