The Covert Relationship between AARP and UnitedHealth Group Now Out of the Bag
The American Medical Money Machine ^ | April 20, 2015 | James R. Goldberg

Many doctors are blacklisted and now deemed personae non gratae. Since I revealed the covert relationship between AARP and UnitedHealth Group in my article on 16 October 2012, the duo has now proudly and publicly announced their badly kept secret. Who AARP really is and what drives UnitedHealth Group is a dirty story the public needs to know.

AARP derives over 80 percent of its revenue from commissions/royalties from the sale of UnitedHealthcare Group products. This cozy relationship by these fascinating bed mates is being litigated in Texas—in a class action suit, no less—by Dr. John Milton Peacock and Robbie Cowan. The plaintiffs have alleged that AARP has committed insurance fraud.

There were four healthcare lobbyists in Washington for every Senator and Congressmen paying off our law makers while Obamacare was being debated. Now, the public gets to enjoy the stupidity of Nancy Pelosi who opined: Let’s pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it!

Right. I have known about AARP being an insurance shill for a long time. I am not YET AARP eligible but you can bet I’m not signing up with them when I am. What’s the name of that alternative group for “elderly” peeps??

Right! But they are operating as a non-profit. Their tax exemption should be revoked! But considering they are one of the most powerful lobbying groups in America, I doubt that’s going to happen.

Interesting. I think AARP and SEIU are tied for the most underhanded groups on the planet.

AARP made the mistake of sending me a self addressed, stamped return envelope. I stuffed it full of junk mail until it was overweight, and sent it back.

Its actually more than this.
United Healthcare is unionized by SEIU in in a violent take over took control of many non-union sections of United Healthcare.
SEIU lawyers wrote most of the framework for Obamacare.
One of Obama’s donors was assigned to lead AARP

Then came the agreement to unify AARP and United Healthcare.

“What’s the name of that alternative group for “elderly” peeps??”

AMAC

And let me tell you that their insurance plans and companies are vastly superior to United Healthcare (AARP). Plus their insurance folks are the best I’ve ever encountered. When Obamacare caused the cancellation of my HMO ( under Medicare), AMAC helped both me and my wife obtain new, much better policies at very competitive rates. The insurance I got was so good that my wife cancelled her AARP United Healthcare policy and took out one identical to mine with AMAC (Aetna). AARP is simply a bunch of liberals making money off of old folks ( and some not to old folk too). AMAC walks the talk.
