AARP AR State President column on health care bill: 'Health-care act is unfair, unaffordable'

AARP Arkansas State Volunteer President Charlie Wagener in a column published May 28, 2017, in the Southwest Times Record— "Health-care act is unfair, unaffordable”—explains why the health care bill currently before the U.S. Senate would be bad for Arkansans, especially those 50 and over. Based in Fort Smith, the Times Record is Arkansas' second-largest daily newspaper by circulation.

The American Health Care Act, Charlie notes,  "would give billions to big drug and insurance companies while dramatically increasing costs for people age 50 and over, and those with pre-existing conditions."
