AARP Illinois will keep fighting for affordable prescription drugs, livable communities and policies that help every Illinoisan age with dignity, independence and purpose. 🧵 (5/5)

[AARP Illinois @aarpillinois]

Millions of older adults are concerned about their ability to afford prescription medication, while the top 25 prescription drugs increase an average of 81% in cost after entering the U.S.
The Prescription Drug Affordability Act comes at a critical time. Action is needed now.

[AARP Illinois @aarpillinois]

For the 59% of older adults concerned about their ability to afford prescription medication in the future, this legislation comes at a critical time. The top 25 brand-name prescription drugs increase an average of 81% in cost after entering the U.S. market. Action is needed now.

[AARP Illinois @aarpillinois]

We were proud to stand along @CitizenActionIL, State Sen. Guzman, State Sen. Villa, @rep_nabeelasyed, @SenatorVentura and @afscme31 to urge our lawmakers to support the Prescription Drug Affordability Act on behalf of our millions of members across Illinois. (1/2) #Twill

@senvillivalam @RepThadJones We also thank Sen. Hastings and @RepThadJones for championing HB 4273, advancing historic homeowners insurance reforms aimed at improving affordability for Illinois consumers.

[AARP Illinois @aarpillinois]

BIG wins for Illinoisan drivers and homeowners! 📢

Thanks to @senvillivalam's and @RepThadJones's leadership on SB 714, auto insurance protections are stronger and driver safety course hours are halved so more older drivers can access valuable insurance discounts. #Twill

@tmahrep2 Preventing fraud is a shared responsibility, and increasing awareness during Fraud Prevention Month empowers all Illinoisans, especially older adults, to protect themselves, their families, and their financial security.

[AARP Illinois @aarpillinois]

AARP Illinois was proud to join @tmahrep2 to recognize the importance of fraud prevention. Together, we encourage all Illinoisans to learn the red flags of scams and to support community and advocacy efforts that help prevent scams, protect consumers, and assist fraud victims.
