Support Obama, the Democrats and ObamaCare and you too can receive a
health care waiver and billions of dollars. The pay-to-play scheme
continues.
From The Daily Caller
<http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/19/aarp-latest-to-receive-obamacare-break/>:
*The Daily Caller has learned that the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS
<http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/19/aarp-latest-to-receive-obamacare-break/#>)
rate review rules, which it finalized on Thursday, exempt “Medigap”
policy providers, like the American Association of Retired Persons
(AARP), from oversight when such providers increase payment rates
for their supplemental insurance plans.*
Insurance providers who aren’t exempt from Obamacare’s rate review
rules are required to publicly release and explain some health care
payment rate increases.
The AARP is the nation’s biggest seller of Medigap policies, or
supplemental healthcare plans that add onto what Medicare won’t
cover for seniors. *The senior citizens interest group advocated for
Obamacare to include an attack on Medigap policies’ biggest
competitor, Medicare Advantage
<http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/19/aarp-latest-to-receive-obamacare-break/#>*.
Though *the White House and HHS dismiss allegations of political
favoritism* when it comes to who’s getting exceptions from the new
health care regulations – such as in the recent uproar over the
disproportionate number of Obamacare waivers
<http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/17/nearly-20-percent-of-new-obamacare-waivers-are-gourmet-restaurants-nightclubs-fancy-hotels-in-nancy-pelosi%E2%80%99s-district/>
that went to companies in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s
district — Obamacare critics say the mere appearance
<http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/19/obamacare-transparency-fail-who%E2%80%99s-still-waiting-for-waivers-and-who-got-denied-obama-won%E2%80%99t-tell-us/>
of the administration helping friends is disturbing.
*The AARP was a driving force behind getting Obamacare through
Congress, contributing a large sum to the $121 million advertising
campaign pushing it, and spending millions more lobbying for it on
Capitol Hill.*
...The senior citizen advocacy organization *stands to make huge
profits from Medicare Advantage cuts and from the exemptions it will
benefit from when it comes to the Medigap plans sold* under what
AARP CEO
<http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/19/aarp-latest-to-receive-obamacare-break/#>
A. Barry Rand calls the AARP’s “for-profit side.”
The AARP’s support of Obamacare during the debate over the
legislation raised lots of eyebrows nationwide, as President Obama
called for $313 billion in cuts to Medicare to push the plan
through. Seniors weren’t happy about it, and many ripped AARP
<http://dailycaller.com/2011/05/19/aarp-latest-to-receive-obamacare-break/#>
representatives at town hall meetings nationwide.
*Now, though, it’s clear that the AARP is set to make millions, if
not billions, of extra dollars in Medigap plan sales moving forward
because they’ve effectively knocked out their biggest competitor,
Medicare Advantage, through Obamacare*.
