AARP, the largest and most influential organization of older Americans, endorsed a GOP-sponsored Medicare bill yesterday. The bill offers a limited prescription drug plan and pushes seniors toward private providers as part of the biggest transformation of Medicare in its 38-year history. The 35 million-member AARP had opposed the Medicare bill but changed its position after GOP leaders made a few changes, including adding a provision that increases benefits for those with low-incomes.
