News articles that make you go "WTF?"

Good news:"This bill is good for Medicare and Medicare enrollees," said John Rother, policy director for the AARP, which has supported the legislation.

And then you read the next paragraph:

The Senate bill calls for $483 billion in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and other programs over 10 years. A Department of Health and Human Services report this month said the cuts could cause fewer doctors to treat Medicare patients.

And you probably thought the AARP represented Retired persons...
