This is ridiculous. AARP makes billions selling United Health insurance.

Whoa! John Oliver exposed how United Health care monopolizes the market with 2700 subsidiaries… I’m not always a fan of him, but this is wild and accurate.

.@AARP claims expanding Medicare price controls will save billions, but those so-called savings come at the expense of investment in R&D. Less R&D means fewer groundbreaking treatments reach patients, especially the seniors who need them most. Price controls cannot achieve what a free market does: more competition, continued medical innovation, and more affordable options. washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

AARP's $200 billion mirage: How price controls kill tomorrow’s medicine

Expanding Medicare drug price controls as proposed by AARP threatens critical biopharmaceutical R&D and prevents lifesaving cures.

Expanding IRA drug price controls, which @AARP is lobbying Dems for, could have devastating effects on critical R&D. MFP's Tomas Philipson found that increasing price controls could prevent the development of 219 new drugs over a decade. @PatriciaGBarnes washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

Polling says "72% of voters agree it’s time to make other countries pay their fair share for prescription drugs. Voters want Congress to act." Start with the USTRx Act—it confronts foreign freeloading head-on w/out importing foreign price controls. @kerpen washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

American patients shouldn’t foot the bill for the world’s medicines

America can lower prescription costs by exposing pharmacy middlemen and forcing foreign nations to pay their fair share.

Trump is winning on Rx prices via voluntary deals with drugmakers and securing $500 billion+ in U.S. R&D, manufacturing, and workforce investments, but transparency and accountability are needed for insurer-PBMs who still game the system to raise patients’ out-of-pocket costs. @WSJ wsj.com/health/pharma/trump-…

Trump Administration Reaches Drug Pricing Deals With 9 Companies

The U.S. has now reached 26 such deals covering 89% of the branded drug market, the White House said.

President Trump is delivering lower drug prices by promoting competition. His administration has expanded direct-to-consumer sales, advanced PBM reforms, and attracted nearly half a trillion dollars in new biopharmaceutical investment to the United States. Drug prices fell 3.1% in July, the largest drop on record. Free market competition is working.

Patients deserve transparency from health insurers to make the best decisions for their care. @AARP's partnership with @UHC, which incentivizes AARP to sell more expensive plans, is just one example of the harm insurers' opaque practices can cause. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2026/07/28…

Transparency Should Apply To All Forms Of Medicare Insurance

When it comes to Medicare, Congress should ensure seniors have information on all types of insurance policies they can purchase.

Most of @AARP’s revenue comes from “royalty fees” through @UHC – a clear conflict of interest that incentivizes higher insurance premiums at seniors’ expense. Seniors need a real advocate for affordability. @ChrisJacobsHC washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

AARP doesn't represent seniors. It overcharges them

AARP calls itself a senior advocate. Its filings show it makes billions in fees tied to UnitedHealth, even as costs rise for the seniors it claims to protect.

.@ChrisJacobsHC’s new report reveals @AARP took a $9 billion payment from PBM-mega insurer @UHC last year, putting “AARP’s financial bottom line in direct opposition to its members.” Healthcare reform means exposing these deals, restoring competition, and putting patients before entrenched interests. @DCExaminer washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

When healthcare markets are dominated by PBM-mega insurer conglomerates, competition dies and out-of-pocket costs soar. Accountability shouldn't stop with insurers. @AARP should face the music when its financial incentives outweigh its responsibility to serve their members.

AARP claims to speak for seniors. But who is speaking for AARP? New findings from @chrisjacobsHC show the organization has received billions from UnitedHealth through royalty agreements tied to endorsed insurance plans. In 2024 alone, corporate royalty revenue grew while member dues fell. Read the report: commitmenttoseniors.org/wp-c…
