Republican Lawmakers Question AARP'S Tax-Free Profits From Product Endorsements | Fox News
Republicans say AARP's deal with United HealthCare is different, and in the letter to the IRS, they point to what they say are several examples of AARPs daily influence over the business, including its authority over United's operating plan and its ability to "approve, modify on a line-by-line basis, or provide specific direction to United."
Josephson said if thats indeed the case, "the kinds of hands-on relationships (AARP) has with its supposedly arms-length insurance companies are hardly passive."
And if its not passive, lawmakers contend, the income is taxable.
But AARPs support for the Obama administrations new health care law, which calls for $500 billion in cuts to Medicare, critics say, makes it all the more likely people would need supplemental insurance, something AARP stands ready to provide.
"That move alone, as seniors began to go to Medigap insurance, increases AARP's revenue over a 10-year period by $1 billion. And we think that's just a little bit suspicious," Reichert said.
