Health Care Issues Raised at AARP Convention, Las Vegas
Ken Ritter
First lady Laura Bush and Democrat John Kerry received warm welcomes at an AARP convention Thursday, where in separate appearances both recalled the group's key backing for a Medicare prescription drug law and promised benefits for seniors in the next four years.
Last year, the 35 million-member organization of Americans 50 and older backed the Medicare legislation, drawing strong criticism from Democratic opponents and prompting 60,000 people to resign their membership.
Kerry, who opposed the Bush Medicare plan, followed Mrs. Bush to the podium about 90 minutes later and took a jab at the president's decision not to speak to the AARP convention. Instead, Bush spoke to a rally in Las Vegas with Republican governors.
