" You don't Evander without endorsing any specific plan on health care reform the previous angered several thousand of its members. 60000. Since July did the exact. That's the number who have been quitting AARP because of the group's support of health care overhaul. Even -- the group says and we're not really supporting it. And this as my next -- saying the FAA RP is no longer the American association of retired persons but the association against retired persons. And you do not want to take this guy off because well he's slow to anger when he does he becomes an Italian. Pat Boone joins us right now I can say that because I'm going to make on marriage. On that is -- NASA spokesperson for the sixty plus association. Overall wonderful human pat you know to feeling wonderful about the AARP wanna."

" Well of course I I know the AA RPM I am a card carrying member myself when you have to be over because they do have to be of assistance and a well I rushed it a little -- thank you. But the AARP's done great things for a lot of seniors but. -- and now a spokesman for sixty plus which is conservative alternative to AARP and we were much more narrow focus we are determined. To preserve Social Security Medicare Medicaid and to abolish. The death tax the estate tax they call it. Which takes half of everything you've saved when you have the bad judgment to die we don't think debt should be a taxable event. And ARP. Unaccountably. Is that taking very liberal positions politically and why they want to. Endorse and they're not just they say they're not endorsing it but they're actually spending millions -- And and spots I've seen them on television myself well --"

" Some later we're glad you're okay let them because something weird happened because we had wanted to directors. That is so not long ago one Fox's analysis at one point. And then -- quite you know. Okay with a lot of the president's overall reform efforts then what I think happened that is going to started seeing these. Health care forms and town hall meetings and -- oh my god we've gotta step back here. I think that's exactly what happened."

" Less fit but that but the spots. There clearly in favor of the Obama plan are on the air now which they paid for. And the 60000. I think you're gonna swelled to a ground anymore because seniors Neil. We're -- compassionate lot we care about people that don't have insurance but. But our top priority is to get the insurance and to get to health care that we have already bought and paid for. And this plan. We know according to the Congressional Budget Office. Is going to take 300 to 600 billion dollars away from Medicare wild. While forty million more baby boomers are becoming eligible how in the world know economics can make that work."

" So what what happened when air came from you know it started as sort of does not political organization needs and fifty got your card you got discounts it. You know early supper but say isn't all that and you know you could do you can get discounts and shops and Disney world in Ottawa. Then they grow and more -- as something that was like a political animal had to happen."

" Well because the folks that are in charge. Have a different priority I think no I'm guessing and I'm sure they're good people. But they have skewed liberal and I am just guessing again that the administration. Whether Rahm Emanuel who it might be have made. -- some kind of promises to ARP look. That this program go through and you will benefit. Because of the many many meeting more members were going to bring in and all the pharmaceuticals. Stuff that is going to have to come through you is gonna boom. You economically. As an organization. Even though a lot of the seniors they represent are going to be standing in lines waiting and maybe not even getting the care. That they have bought and paid for."

" That's our concern torrent had their own -- Syria organization doesn't know grows or you were offering discounts at restaurants and even with your cards. Yes."

" Yeah we do some of that to we offer airline and then trend here. Hotels and all that but we're just not as widely. Diverse as AARP and more power to them."

" Well thank you blizzard and I'd like 10000 a clip I mean that that that it's going to change it manifests."

" On what we will welcome them will welcome -- that sixty plus okay. Thanks very very good seeing you continued success. Thank you you."
