While providing hospital accompaniment to a client in California this past week, I noticed this sign by every elevator. The reported head of this healthcare organization was paid over $15 million in salary, bonuses, and other benefits two years ago. Priorities would be the reason why. Pity the patient.

About our government’s attempts to divide us, and in certain cases make some go hungry and without healthcare, I’d like to sponsor one of these unfortunate people and receive a federal tax credit instead of paying higher taxes. Who’s with me?

Who is responsible for declining American values? So many places to start, but today I’ll say shame on AARP for accepting millions from UnitedHealth so the insurer could promote their Medicare (dis)Advantage plans to seniors who rely on AARP as a trusted resource. Not all Medicare coverage is equal. Buyer beware!

Not transparent, not ethical, another reason why healthcare literacy is so important. Shame on UHC. Shame on AARP!!

UnitedHealth and AARP Shake Hands on $9 Billion Deal
Behind the Capitol Hill photo ops and consumer-friendly slogans, AARP, America’s most trusted seniors’ group, has close financial ties with America’s largest health care conglomerate.

In 2024, UnitedHealth Group (UNH) — the nation’s largest health insurer — paid AARP a one-time upfront royalty payment of just over $9 billion for the rights to use AARP’s name in marketing Medicare Advantage-type plans and Medicare supplement policies. According to financial statements for AARP, this windfall came as part of a restructured deal with UNH’s insurance unit, UnitedHealthcare, extending their partnership for an additional 12 years and recording a balance of about $8.72 billion in deferred revenue as of December 31.
