American Seniors Association Believes Obama’s Plan Does Not Protect Elderly

American Seniors Association is not in favor of President Barack Obama’s health care plan, stating that it doesn’t believe it truly protects America’s elderly citizens.

 

"President Obama must think the American people are idiots if he thinks the health care rationing, restrictions and regulations being debated in Congress will save money and result in better preventative medicine," ASA President Stuart Barton said in a statement.

 

"The president told the AARP meeting that opponents are 'making people scared.' Well, they ought to be scared at current proposals," he said, citing congressional analysts' estimates that the plan will cost $1.2 to $1.8 trillion over 10 years. "That's absurd in a recession, let alone good times."

 

ASA has three major concerns about Obama’s health care plan. They believe a government-run will limit patient- doctor choice and there will be an employer mandate that would kill jobs and lower wages. In addition, ASA believes the current legislation being debated attacks baby boomers and seniors by cutting $500 billion out of Medicare over the next 10 years.

 

Thousands of elderly citizens have publicly opposed Obama’s plan. ASA serves as another option for seniors who are also disgruntled by the prospects of this health care plan.

 

AARP is running ads to support a health care overhaul and hosted Obama at an online forum recently to promote his agenda to AARP members. However, by doing this, many seniors believe that the organization supports Obama’s plan.

 

"They see that the AARP has betrayed its membership in order to support 'reform' for White House 'favors' in return," Barton wrote.

 

American Seniors Association offers elderly citizens several quality services, such as Medicare, insurance, prescription discounts and travel services.
