style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">ALEXANDRIA, VA - The 60 Plus Association, a 17-year-old
nonpartisan senior citizens advocacy group often referred to as the
“conservative alternative to the AARP” today released a TV ad warning the
elderly that the healthcare proposal touted by the Obama Administration “means
massive Medicare cuts in order to pay for healthcare ‘reform’.” See the ad here:

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">“This strikes at the heart of the debate over the value
of our seniors’ lives versus the cost of expensive treatments they need to stay
healthy or get better,” said Jim Martin, President of 60 Plus.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Entitled “Sacrifice,” the ad states that seniors today,
The Greatest Generation, have spent their lives sacrificing to protect freedom
and strengthen our nation. From landing at <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Normandy</st1:place></st1:State>, to raising strong families and
building successful businesses, these men and women have remained dedicated to
their country. Now, in seniors’ most vulnerable stage of life, President
Obama and Congress are asking them to sacrifice even more by cutting Medicare to
pay for healthcare reform, meaning long waits for care and even possible denial
of care.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">But perhaps the scariest part, the ad says, is that the
government, not your doctor, decides if older patients are worth the cost. And
the cruel joke is that many politicians are designing a health care plan for the
country that they themselves are exempted from.
