One of the concerns raised at a recent AARP Health Care Seminar I attended was the cost of the health care reform legislation being discussed at this time. The AARP representative admitted paying for the program is something still being worked out. When our country is already over $11,000,000,000,000 in debt, why are we considering a program that we do not know how to fund? This is the time ratchet down our spending, not create new expensive programs.
