AARP, AMA Launch Health Care Ad Focused on Medicare « The Future of Aging Blog
AARP and the American Medical Association (AMA) recently launched a new ad campaign focused on promulgating how health care reform will improve Medicare.
Featured in the ad are a physician and a “spin doctor,” both offering different perspectives about health reform.
According to The Hill, “The ad takes aim at the arguments of Senate Republicans and health insurance interest groups who claim that Democratic health care reform cuts millions of dollars from the Medicare health care program for senior citizens.”
“Together, AMA and AARP are working to put the scare tactics to bed once and for all and inform patients about the benefits of health reform,” AMA president, Dr. J. James Rohack said in a release.
The ad is just one effort of a major education campaign that AARP has undertaken to inform its members about what is fact and what is fiction when it comes to the health care reform bills.
