WASHINGTON (November 4, 2009)—The AARP will endorse the health care overhaul bill that House Democrats are preparing to take to the floor for a vote, according to officials quoted by The Associated Press.

Officials with knowledge of the group's decision told The Associate Press Wednesday that the senior's lobby has decided to give the $1.2 trillion measure its seal of approval.

An announcement is expected Thursday.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement has not been made.

The endorsement, in advance of floor votes as early as this weekend, would be a major boost for President Barack Obama's priority legislative issue.

Observer, they are paying me $1,000.00 per letter for each comment. For comments made to you, they are paying me $2,000.00 per letter. Are you still making comments for free? What a loser.

I wonder how much the insurance companies --who stand to lose millions of dollars if Healthcare Reform is passed-- are paying all these "concened citizens" to speak out against Healthcare Reform?
