AARP Backing Away From Public Option

A report from the AARP advocacy group saying that the government run public option, was not a priority for them.

This big news, after all the statists bragged about having the AARP support for their government overhaul.

?It?s not a priority for us,? said David Certner, Legislative Policy Director of AARP, in an interview with Raw Story. ?We?re more concerned about prohibitions due to pre-existing conditions and cost spikes of up to 10 times for 60-64-year-old seniors.?

The group then went on to talk about the fact that their members are already on a government plan. It's called medicare. However it did not address the 500 B cuts to medicare.

So is the AARP slowly backing away from the public option?
