Ironic Result for AARP

The AARP pushes for more and more government healthcare benefits for individuals over age 65, though apparently these elderly individuals prefer private insurance. It is ironic that their push for government insurance now means that people aren't given the private insurance that they desire even more. The AP has the story here:

The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a federal policy that allows employers to reduce their health insurance expenses for retired workers once they turn 65 and qualify for Medicare.
The justices turned down an appeal by the 39-million-member AARP to undo a rule that essentially allows employers to treat retirees differently depending on their age. . . .
