'''American Association of Retired Persons''' (AARP), is a [[liberal]] membership organization with over 39 million members, for people age 50 and over in the United States. As a progressive-run organization, the AARP heavily promotes the [[Obama Administration]]'s Health Care Reform legislation. <ref>[http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/politics/articles/the_difficult_details_of_health_care_reform.html?CMP=KNC-360I-MSN-BULL&HBX_OU=52&HBX_PK=aarp_health_care_reform AARP Bulletin</ref> AARP claims to represent retired people, yet the retired people will have the most to lose in national health coverage.
