Commitment To Seniors

Here to expose AARP's advocacy, political, and policy engagement, and how it affects their members and financial partners. Paid for by American Commitment.

“AARP … actually profits from its own members’ economic misery. As premiums rise for its members, so too does AARP’s financial windfall” via insurer UnitedHealth—now under DOJ criminal investigation—who has paid @AARP more than $9 BILLION DOLLARS. @kerpen

Hey, @AARPAdvocates, list prices ≠ out-of-pocket costs. Full stop. Pushing for price controls by using manipulated data could restrict seniors’ access to lifesaving treatments. The seniors you claim to advocate for deserve transparency. @PatriciaGBarnes

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

📈 💸 Prices for top brand-name medications increased 81% since being released—but only in the U.S. https://t.co/VxcU9IdJW0

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

How can @AARP claim it is "combating" debt when AARP got a $9 BILLION windfall from UnitedHealth? Do @UHC companies not send people to collections? Seen any AARP ad/grassroots campaigns about their corporate partner?

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

Friendly reminder: list prices aren’t what seniors pay at the counter. Don’t you know this @AARP? Using inflated numbers to push for price controls is manipulation, not advocacy. Bad data leads to bad policy, and bad policy costs lives. https://t.co/t9PTCYa2DW

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

.@nyahphengsitthy @BLaw: Yes, Rx in US too high, but @AARP uses phony list prices vs gross (w/PBMs pocketing much/all variance – 40%+), and got paid $9 BILLION via insurer-PBM @UHC (under DOJ investigation). Better data @DrugChannels @A_Ciaccia & @Mcuban https://t.co/t9PTCYa2DW

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

The big insurance protection racket works GREAT for insurers — just not for seniors left with fewer care options and more red tape. Entrenched interests run the show, and @kerpen is right: "Congress cannot go another year without major health care reform." https://t.co/eIQg7TW13T

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

For countless seniors, earlier detection can mean more time, more options, and better outcomes. Congress should remove barriers that keep patients from accessing the latest Alzheimer’s treatments so progress reaches those who need it most. @newtgingrich https://t.co/sZbFfDfwB3

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

Seniors shouldn’t pay the price for misguided drug policies. MFN threatens access to breakthrough treatments today & puts future cures at risk. @SenateGOP: Don’t play politics. Vote NO on MFN. @kerpen

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

You can’t make this up. @AARPadvocates claims to support seniors by fighting waste and abuse in Medicare, while their financial partner, @UHC, is reportedly under DOJ criminal investigation for Medicare fraud. Ironic...isn’t it?

Seniors deserve better.

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

We support rooting out waste and abuse in Medicare—WITHOUT putting up barriers for seniors who need care. https://t.co/Qm2DZUpFtA

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

"Germany’s approach to drug pricing is a textbook example of how developed nations shift the cost of medical progress onto American patients." This foreign freeloading has to stop. Access to new, lifesaving medicine is at risk. @sallypipes @SteveForbesCEO https://t.co/zKVTFhaDQW

[Most Favored Patient @MFPatient]

One issue with the current health care system? Misplaced incentives. As @chrisjacobsHC points out in his newest op-ed, "AARP makes more money the more seniors get charged in Medigap premiums, meaning the spike in Medigap premiums will give the organization a financial windfall." @commit2seniors  @StephenMoore @AmerComm @TheProspect
https://t.co/BhmegwOoSc

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

European countries like Germany are free riding on U.S. medical innovation, "sticking Americans with the bill." U.S. policymakers and @POTUS must say no to foreign price controls and instead push for a UK-style trade deal. @sallypipes @kerpen @StephenMoore

[Coalition Against Socialized Medicine @SayNo2SocialMed]

As big insurers report record profits, patients continue to bear the burden of soaring premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.

Meanwhile, their unholy alliance with @AARP has become a significant financial windfall—one that comes at the expense of patients they claim to serve.

"Many seniors facing surging Medigap premiums consider themselves stuck without other realistic options," says @chrisjacobsHC. "But even as some seniors feel trapped in a vise of rising premiums, one organization clearly benefits: AARP."

Examples like this are why MFP is pushing for patient-first reforms focused on transparency and accountability. @commit2seniors @kerpen @FDRLST @SteveForbesCEO https://t.co/BhmegwNR2E

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

PBMs pocket rebates and hide behind opaque practices, leaving seniors paying more and local pharmacies closing. Seniors can't wait until 2028 for a fix. Patients deserve transparency NOW, not 2 years down the road. @JustinLeventhal @RealClearHealth https://t.co/9NxUP7qpRm

[CASE @CASE_forAmerica]

AARP says it advocates for seniors. But as Medicare premiums rise, AARP profits from “royalty fees” tied to those premiums. Seniors pay more, and healthcare becomes less accessible and less affordable for consumers. @chrisjacobsHC @commit2seniors
https://t.co/tFWDkxEzkE

[Taxpayers Protection Alliance @Protectaxpayers]

Rates for taxpayer-funded Medicare supplemental insurance—or Medigap—plans have risen rapidly, and AARP benefits through so-called "royalties." Taxpayers and consumers deserve answers.

.@AARP demands transparency from everyone else, but their cut of seniors’ Medigap premiums? Hidden from the very members paying it. Seniors, who face rising out-of-pocket insurer costs, deserve better from their so-called "advocate." @chrisjacobsHC @kerpen
https://t.co/y53DDmxC8Q

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

.@chrisjacobsHC nails it: “even as some seniors feel trapped in a vise of rising premiums, one organization clearly benefits: AARP.” Seems the group meant to protect seniors profits off their hardships. That's not advocacy – it's a business model. @kerpen
https://t.co/y53DDmxC8Q

[Commitment To Seniors @commit2seniors]

📢 NEW must-read op-ed! Thank you, @chrisjacobsHC for exposing how @AARP quietly collects a cut of every Medigap premium seniors pay — courtesy of their billion-dollar partnership with @UHC.

Everyone should be asking who AARP really advocates for. @kerpen
