.@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. @kerpenthefederalist.com/2026/05/07…
📢 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. @kerpenthefederalist.com/2026/05/07…

.@AARP claims to support transparency & lower Rx prices. Ironic, given its billion-$ partnership with @UHC.
Opaque insurer-PBM practices drive up seniors’ out-of-pocket costs with little accountability. Hard to see how that's "affordable." @chrisjacobsHCrealclearhealth.com/articles…

We all make mistakes.
Happy to help.
And for the record, the Monster Cost Pork Rocket to Nowhere is the *opposite* of "the power of American innovation"....
