Many of these candidates stand for dismantling the health care insurance system that AARP and its partners like UnitedHealth Group rely on.
Every major Democratic presidential candidate is scheduled to make an appearance at an AARP-sponsored health care forums in Iowa in July, yet many of them stand for dismantling the health care insurance system that AARP and its partners rely on.
AARP is holding the forums to "Help older Americans make their own decisions come Election Day," an AARP spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email Monday.
"AARP has a proud 33-year history of non-partisan voter engagement, providing voters with information on where the candidates stand on issues important to older voters and their families, like reducing out-of-control prescription drug prices. AARP has invited President Trump to share his views with AARP members ahead of the general election" the AARP spokesperson said in an email.
UHG's CEO David Wichmann characterized Medicare for all as a "Wholesale disruption of American health care [that] would surely jeopardize the relationship people have with their doctors, destabilize the nation's health system, and limit the ability of clinicians to practice medicine at their best," reported The Hill in April.
While AARP collected about $301 million in membership dues in 2017, the organization took in about $627 million in royalties from UHG that year, according to AARP's financial statement.
AARP has profited by letting UHG sell Medicare Advantage health benefits and Medicare Part D drug benefits under the AARP brand since 1997, according to Forbes.
