And you added the American Cancer Society.
I will add National Council on Aging
We already mentioned the AARP.
Also it has been endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Voto Latino.

Do you suppose all these groups have been infiltrated by communists and socialists or are out for their own gains in this matter? Or is this a case where the leadership of these organizations are just too uneducated and easily duped into thinking the House plan won't be as expensive as allowing the status quo?

I mean Pediatricians aren't very knowledgeable, and NCOA is just a bunch of old people-what do they know?
The illness advocacy groups-well you can tell they have a stake in the matter! Especially the American Cancer Society. What a bunch of know-nothing losers.
