AARP having membership problems

AARP is a giant lobbying business run (hopefully) to stand up for the rights of Citizens over the age of 50. AARP has come out in favor of Obamacare. AARP has had about 60,000 of its members quit over this. From USA Today:
AARP loses members over health care stance
About 60,000 senior citizens have quit AARP since July 1 due to the group's support for a health care overhaul, a spokesman for the organization said Monday.

The membership loss suggests dissatisfaction on the part of AARP members at a time when many senior citizens are concerned about proposed cuts to Medicare providers to help pay for making health care available for all.
