President Obama Worked Behind-the-Scenes Deals to Get the AMA and AARP to Endorse Health Care Reform-Commentary!

Summary of eRumor:

An article called “OBAMACARE ENDORSEMENTS: WHAT THE BRIBE WAS” by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann.  It says that the endorsements given by the American Medical Association (AMA) and AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired People) to promote the healthcare reform package resulted from promises from President Obama to kill cut backs in reimbursements and the elimination of the Medicare Advantage Program.

The Truth:

We have confirmed that the article was written by Dick Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann, on November 6, 2009 for the opinion section of The Hill, a congressional newspaper.  It was also posted on the Dick Morris website. 

Morris is a Fox News contributor, syndicated writer, author and worked as a presidential advisor in 1992 for Bill Clinton and later as campaign manager for Clinton’s second term.
