Local Opportunity to Hear AARP Leadership Discuss Next Steps for Health Care
Reform
Senior AARP leaders will host a video conference media briefing Thursday,
November 5 to discuss health care reform legislation and next steps for the
group's grassroots, advertising and advocacy effort. With Congressional votes
on a health care reform package expected as early as this week, Americans age
50-plus have much at stake in the health care debate. AARP executives will
discuss the state-of-play on critical issues including closing the Medicare
prescription drug "doughnut hole" and cracking down on health insurance
companies' discrimination against older Americans.
The event will be broadcast live from AARP's Washington headquarters to the
Association's Philadelphia office. Members of the media will have the
opportunity to ask questions via video conference.
