Commitment To Seniors
@commit2seniors
Here to expose AARP's advocacy, political, and policy engagement, and how it affects their members and financial partners. Paid for by American Commitment.
👀Just like the Coldplay Affair, @AARP & @UHC have been caught red-handed. Our report with @juniperresearch exposes their cozy, lucrative partnership and how the non-profit rakes in over $1 BILLION in total corporate royalties annually. See the evidence: commitmenttoseniors.org/wp-content/upl…
.@kare11, has @AARP, who’s paid billions via UnitedHealth & lends its brand to @UHC’s #Medicare policies, commented? @AARPMN or Sen. @AmyKlobuchar, care to comment after being notably silent on big insurer-PBM accountability reforms for so long? Or, @UHC got their tongue?
UnitedHealth confirms it is under a federal investigation kare11.com/article/news/l…
I believe AARP earns around $1B/year for co-branding UnitedHealth's Medicare Advantage plans (which is typically viewed as having aggressive coding). I wonder if United has already been hurt enough by lawsuits/other policies that this is seen as leveling the playing field
👀 Cassidy announces AARP has endorsed his Medicare Advantage upcoding bill in press release just now AARP says it "protects older Americans, strengthens oversight, and helps to ensure the long-term sustainability of Medicare"
.@FOX9, has @AARP, who’s paid billions via UnitedHealth & lends its brand to @UHC’s #Medicare policies, commented? @AARPMN or Sen. @AmyKlobuchar, care to comment after being notably silent on big insurer-PBM accountability reforms for so long? Or, @UHC got their tongue?
In a statement, UnitedHealth Group admitted it faces a criminal and civil investigation by the Department of Justice into its Medicare program. The disclosure comes two months after the company dismissed a WSJ report about the investigation. fox9.com/news/unitedhea…
.@drugchannels, help translate for avg. Americans: Does this mean big PBMs, largely owned by big insurers, are excluding more drugs from what insurers will cover, so insurers can force patients to pay full price or use alternative more profitable for big insurer-PBMs? @DrOzCMS
🚨 𝐏𝐁𝐌 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐇𝐢𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬 𝐢𝐧 2025 The three largest PBMs are excluding more medications than ever before: 🔹 842 single-source brand-name drugs (with no generic or biosimilar alternatives) 🔹 611 unique generics 🔹 37 unique biosimilars…
.@ben_ippolito @AEI – Yes, @AARP is paid billions via @UHC, so (1) read caveats in AARP letter & (2) see if AARP runs big public advocacy campaign to pass like AARP has on #Medicare policies beneficial to big insurers (IRA, other tax subsidies, etc.). Watch.

.@StarTribune, why AGAIN no comment from @SenAmyKlobuchar, who chaired antitrust/consumer subcommittee (was AWOL on insurer-PBM UnitedHealth despite warnings), or @AARP who’s paid billions via @UHC (and lends brand to @UHC Medicare policies)? @AARPMN startribune.com/unitedhealth-g…
Considering the news on @TheJusticeDept investigation of UnitedHealth’s #Medicare billing practices, and @AARP’s silence, it’s worth resurfacing @AndyMarkMiller’s article on @AARP-@UHC’s systemic financial relationship. @MikeCrapo @DrOzCMS @WhiteHouse foxbusiness.com/fox-news-polit…
.@AP, @AARP is paid billions lending its brand to UnitedHealth’s #Medicare policies. Has @AARPadvocates even commented on @UHC being investigated by @TheJusticeDept over its Medicare billing practices? @RepGuthrie @RepJasonSmith @WaysandMeansGOP apnews.com/article/united…
Prior authorization in the Medicare Advantage program can be a burden to both patients and providers. Modernizing this administrative process to achieve the right balance would allow providers to deliver timely care to their patients and achieve better health outcomes.…
.@FTC & @TheJusticeDept’s listening session made it clear. Big insurer-PBMs like @UHC are steering patients to their own pharmacies to gain profit. @POTUS should closely examine these health care conglomerates so patients get the #Rx savings they deserve. ftc.gov/news-events/ev…
Ensuring that we actually have the right incentives aligned within the Medicare Advantage program will help MA deliver on the promise of more innovative and responsive care for patients to help them live healthier lives. @RepDavid
We are with you! It’d be nice if @AARP, who’s paid billions via UnitedHealth and has remained largely silent, reversed course and actively leverages @AARPadvocates to publicly campaign on needed insurer-PBM accountability reforms. AARP Silence = ? @RepGregMurphy @RepLloydDoggett
I am so grateful to @RepLloydDoggett who shared our story yesterday in Committee. I’m hopeful that we can all move in the right direction for the health of Americans.
.@WSJhealth, will @AARP get a pass? AARP hasn’t commented despite lending AARP’s brand to @UHC’s #Medicare policies & being paid BILLIONS via UnitedHealth? AARP should be visibly calling for reform, but isn’t. Ask why! @WSJbusiness @cdweaver @annawmathews wsj.com/health/healthc…
UnitedHealth says it is facing DOJ investigation over Medicare billing practices cnbc.com/2025/07/24/uni…
.@ChrisEgertKSTP, ask @AARPMN for a comment since @AARP is paid billions via UnitedHealth & lends AARP’s brand to @UHC’s #Medicare policies. Also, seem odd Sen. @AmyKlobuchar isn’t rushing cameras on an issue so important to MN seniors? Why’s she AWOL when it comes to @UHC? @KSTP
UnitedHealth says it is under a federal criminal and civil investigation regarding its Medicare business and is cooperating. apnews.com/live/donald-tr…
