A bombshell report by Chris Jacobs, the founder and CEO of Juniper Research Group, “How AARP Makes Health Insurance Unaffordable for Its Members,” exposes how AARP is working hand-in-hand with major insurer pharmacy benefit managers, chiefly its financial partner, UnitedHealth, to push for the costly extension of Obamacare subsidies amid the continuing resolution and government shutdown debate.
The report reveals how AARP recently received an extraordinary $9 billion payment as a result of restructuring its existing royalty agreement with UnitedHealth. Under the agreement, UnitedHealth was granted an exclusive license to use AARP’s trade name and intellectual property to market a specific health insurance program tied directly to their financial arrangement.
