AARP, once known as the American Association of Retired Persons, is still mistakenly perceived by many as a senior’s group, despite its significant transformation in recent years. In fact, the organization no longer represents anything substantial, as its original purpose and commitment to advancing the interests of seniors have seemingly vanished.
Today, AARP primarily functions as a marketing and advocacy tool for United Health, the largest health insurance company in the United States. Rather than prioritizing the well-being of seniors, AARP appears to be more focused on promoting the interests of this corporate entity. Furthermore, it is disheartening to observe that AARP's revenue is channeled into supporting Democratic candidates and causes, further blurring the lines between its supposed mission and partisan politics.
Most seniors and members of AARP are unaware of a crucial fact that highlights the organization's financial interests. AARP's revenue is not primarily derived from membership dues but from lucrative corporate royalty arrangements, notably their highly profitable deal with UnitedHealth, one of the nation's largest health insurance conglomerates. In fact, UnitedHealth's revenues now surpass those of banking giant JP Morgan.
Under this arrangement, UnitedHealth pays AARP a significant portion of every monthly premium received from its AARP-branded Medicare plans, amounting to approximately $800 million per year. That is according to Juniper Research analysis. AARP stopped disclosing the exact amount about five years ago. This financial partnership has given AARP substantial clout, allowing it to become a formidable political force.
