Hello
I definitely will not join AARP because they betrayed disabled and retired people supporting the junk medicare part D program.
However I remain undecided about joining your organization BECAUSE I spoke to Mrs. Porter in the government policy department today Feb 21, 2007 and it did not appear that ARA would mount any significant pressure on the Republicans and conservative and moderate Democrats in congress to get a repeal of Medicare Part D and enactment of a real prescription drug benefit covering 80 percent of medication placed in part B with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gap and no sign up penalties.
I suggested a boycott of the 3 major pharmacy chains Eckerd, CVS, and Walgreens, who by the way donate money to the republican party, in order to pressure them to go to the Republican party and get a real prescription drug benefit as I described, enacted in congress.
I have no where to go. I have no senior organization that reflects my wants and political action to get what I want, so my money remains in my wallet until I find such an organization.
With respect and disappointment,
