Former Connecticut Congresswoman, democrat Barbara Kennelly is the current President of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. She was a guest along with John Rother, Legislative Affairs Director of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), and they discussed the Medicare conference report then being considered in Congress. AARP supported the bill. The National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare opposed it. Mr. Rother praised the provision of prescription drug benefits as a positive development, while Ms. Kennelly criticized what she viewed as the privatization of Medicare. The guests responded to audience telephone calls, faxes, and electronic mail. close
