“AARP … actually profits from its own members’ economic misery. As premiums rise for its members, so too does AARP’s financial windfall” via insurer UnitedHealth—now under DOJ criminal investigation—who has paid @AARP more than $9 BILLION DOLLARS. @kerpen

No other countries have insurer-PBMs – the middlemen corporations that pocket Rx manufacturer rebates of 40-60% plus. As such, “list prices” are BS. @AARP, who's been paid $9 BILLION via insurer-PBM UnitedHealth knows this - which makes this all the more phony. @kerpen @mcuban

Americans are STILL paying some of the highest prices in the world for the Rx they need: spr.ly/6016BD17gY

Critical from @stephenmoore and @kerpen
The Inflation Reduction Act was a disaster - but the Biden teams implementation found a way to make it even more destructive.
CMS can start countering damage by removing the Biden policy and personnel still carrying out the Biden vision.

"Investment targeting Medicare-aged populations dropped 74%. The drugs that will not be developed are the ones today's seniors would have used tomorrow." Price controls don't lower costs – they lower options. @kerpen @StephenMoore @dcexaminer @SenFinance washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

How do we lower U.S. health care costs without ceding leadership in medical innovation to China?
"The playbook Congress should follow: more competition, more transparency, and fewer middlemen taking a cut between the factory and the pharmacy." @GOPHELP breitbart.com/politics/2026/…

"Empowering Americans with better information and transparency data remains a critical step toward a more efficient, accountable, and affordable health care landscape," said @RepMGriffith at @HouseCommerce's hearing.
This is the advocacy seniors need. energycommerce.house.gov/eve…

The @HouseCommerce hearing was a step towards health care transparency, but questions still need answers: how are big insurer-PBMs like @UHC able to pocket discounts while seniors foot the bill? And what exactly is @AARP doing about it? @RepGuthrie @kerpen

Big insurer-PBMs like @UHC claim to work on behalf of seniors, yet operate with zero transparency. Today's @HouseCommerce hearing is the perfect place to discuss policies to rein in these conglomerates and their opaque practices. @RepGuthrie @RepMGriffith energycommerce.house.gov/eve…

Foreign countries have freeloaded off American medical innovation for decades. The ones paying the price aren't faceless patients—they're the seniors struggling to access affordable care. It's time to end the free ride & protect R&D. @StephenMoore @POTUS foxnews.com/opinion/stephen-…

Are Americans getting a bad deal, or are they getting bad data? List prices and out-of-pocket costs aren't comparable, and peddling inflated numbers ignores the root cause of high Rx prices: Big insurer-PBMs like @AARP's billion-dollar partner, @UHC.
Americans shouldn’t pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
A new report finds that prices for top brand-name drugs increase after entering the U.S. market… but fall in other high-income countries.
Americans are getting a BAD deal: spr.ly/6012B8WVtq

.@AARP omits 1) insurer-PBM @UHC paid AARP $10B , 2) list prices are BS b/c insurer-PBMs pocket 50% of rebates meant for patients, & 3) no PBMs in other countries. Q: Does insurance work if we can’t afford deductibles & copays? So, why’s AARP taking @UHC money? @kerpen @mcuban

Foreign countries cap drug prices and stick American patients with the tab, calling it “health care policy.” @StephenMoore calls it what it is: freeloading. Time to make them pay their fair share and protect seniors. @POTUS @GOP @kerpen foxnews.com/opinion/stephen-…

Hey, @AARPAdvocates, list prices ≠ out-of-pocket costs. Full stop. Pushing for price controls by using manipulated data could restrict seniors’ access to lifesaving treatments. The seniors you claim to advocate for deserve transparency. @PatriciaGBarnes
📈 💸 Prices for top brand-name medications increased 81% since being released—but only in the U.S. spr.ly/6012B8YoeC

Friendly reminder: list prices aren’t what seniors pay at the counter. Don’t you know this @AARP? Using inflated numbers to push for price controls is manipulation, not advocacy. Bad data leads to bad policy, and bad policy costs lives. news.bloomberglaw.com/health…

.@nyahphengsitthy @BLaw: Yes, Rx in US too high, but @AARP uses phony list prices vs gross (w/PBMs pocketing much/all variance – 40% ), and got paid $9 BILLION via insurer-PBM @UHC (under DOJ investigation). Better data @DrugChannels @A_Ciaccia & @Mcuban news.bloomberglaw.com/health…

The big insurance protection racket works GREAT for insurers — just not for seniors left with fewer care options and more red tape. Entrenched interests run the show, and @kerpen is right: "Congress cannot go another year without major health care reform." cagle.com/columnist/phil-ker…

For countless seniors, earlier detection can mean more time, more options, and better outcomes. Congress should remove barriers that keep patients from accessing the latest Alzheimer’s treatments so progress reaches those who need it most. @newtgingrich foxnews.com/opinion/newt-gin…

Seniors shouldn’t pay the price for misguided drug policies. MFN threatens access to breakthrough treatments today & puts future cures at risk. @SenateGOP: Don’t play politics. Vote NO on MFN. @kerpen

You can’t make this up. @AARPadvocates claims to support seniors by fighting waste and abuse in Medicare, while their financial partner, @UHC, is reportedly under DOJ criminal investigation for Medicare fraud. Ironic...isn’t it?
Seniors deserve better.
