TPM: AP sources report AARP to Endorse House Health Care Bill
AP Sources: AARP to endorse House health care overhaul legislation

ERICA WERNER and RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
AP News

Nov 04, 2009

Officials are telling The Associated Press that AARP, the seniors' lobby, will endorse the health care overhaul bill that House Democrats are preparing to take to the floor.

Officials with knowledge of the group's decision told The Associate Press on 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 signature issue.
