In her recent AgriNews piece, Matilda Charles highlights the benefits of AARP membership, but leaves out a crucial fact: AARP’s deep financial ties to UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest health insurer.
AARP, an organization that claims to advocate for America’s seniors, collects billions annually in corporate royalties, primarily via AARP-branded UHG insurance plans.
This financial entanglement raises important questions about AARP’s impartiality in advocating for meaningful healthcare reforms, particularly those that benefit and protect big health insurer-PBM corporations like UHG and its subsidiary OptumRx.
