Up to 60,000 people have canceled their memberships in AARP because of the group's position on health care reform.

CBS News reports many have switched to the American Seniors Association, a group that positions itself as a conservative alternative to the better-known and far larger group. The American Seniors Association leaves no doubt it is opposed to President Obama's healthcare reform plans that have suggested $313 billion dollars in cuts to medicare programs over ten years.

While the AARP claims it hasn't endorsed any healthcare plan, President Obama told a town hall meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, last week, quote, "We have the AARP on board."

Under hostile questioning by AARP members at a gathering in Dallas this month, an AARP representative unplugged her microphone and left the room. A YouTube video of that meeting has been viewed nearly a quarter of a million times.

AARP claims 40 million members.
