Divided We Fail
Americans should have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their futures will be financially secure. Yet, millions of Americans worry about their health and long-term financial security. For many, the American dream is eroding along with this security.
AARP, Business Roundtable, SEIU, and NFIB believe all Americans should have access to affordable, quality health care and peace of mind about their future long-term financial security, and we're going to mobilize our members and the public to demand solutions.

Bismarck – June 5
AARP and North Dakota Farmers Union are co-hosting an opinion leader forum on health care in North Dakota. The forum will run from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Thursday, June 5, at Bismarck’s Doublewood Inn.
You are invited to join us for this important discussion moderated by Dr. Mary Wakefield, director of the Center for Rural Health at the University of North Dakota’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Come and hear a variety of viewpoints on the issue from health care leaders who will address challenges faced by rural residents, employers, low-income, Native Americans, and elders. Solving the health care crisis will not be easy. Learn what options and trade-offs might be necessary to solve the problem of affordable, quality health care.
Space is limited so please register. Call toll-free 1-877-926-8300.
Humphrey Featured at Fargo-West Fargo-Moorhead Health Care Events – June 17-18
Hubert “Skip” Humphrey III, a member of AARP’s national board of directors, will headline a town hall meeting in Fargo-Moorhead on June 18. He will be joined by AARP North Dakota State President Betty Keegan in a freewheeling discussion of how we in North Dakota can turn up the heat — and the volume —to demand political leadership on health care and financial security issues.
On June 17, AARP will be at the Red River Valley Fair from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The town hall meeting will be held from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, at the Hjemkomst Community Center in Moorhead. Space is limited, so please register by calling toll-free 1-877-926-8300.

Champ – the Divided We Fail mascot – will make its first appearance in North Dakota in the State Fair Parade on Saturday, July 19. Staff and volunteers will walk the parade route with Champ. AARP North Dakota will have a booth each day of the fair. We’ll be in Commercial Building II. Please stop by to talk health care and lifetime financial security – and help us celebrate AARP’s 50th anniversary!
