AARP finances its operations by overcharging members for health care policies and through its billion-dollar relationship with UnitedHealth Group, according to a new public policy report.
“AARP works against its members in many respects,” Chris Jacobs, founder of consulting and analytics firm Juniper Research Group and author of the report, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. He continued: “They’ve built a marketing empire that they use for compensation for their executives and their staff.”
They keep sending me stuff urging me to join. I haven't, and won't. Their mailings go straight into the recycle bin.
AARP doesn’t just use its profits for large executive payouts, but for lobbying many “liberal causes.”
AARP is able to spend 35% of its income from such policies on administrative costs like executive salaries and marketing.
