I have been an AARP member for a long time. I currently subscribe to the AARP / United Healthcare Medicare Complete plan. AARP is part of the "RIP OFF" that Pfizer Pharma, and United Healthcare is perpetrating on it's customers..(YOU AND ME). As most of you know Pfizer /UC / AARP are price fixing Lipitor, so that we cannot buy generic Lipitor and thus pay a higher price. In my case it will be over $400 more per year than my other generics. Mulitply that by the millions of users and you see why they conspire to cheat us in this way. This brings up the larger question. WHY IS AARP STILL CONSIDERED A NON PROFIT?? Apparently the officers, employees and board members of AARP receive some of the highest pay and expense money in the nation. Who is accounting for all that money? What happened to the senior advocacy organization I joined 20 years ago? I have requested an investigation from my Congressman and Senators. You should do the same. |

Did you see this Consumer Report article? "Lipitor goes generic—but still no bargain" This link is to the Consumer News on Consumer Reports.org on November 29. 2011. I have no idea what the price is for their Lipitor or the generic since my mom is taking another generic. You might be able to do a comparison on the Medicare D website for those offering a plan in your area to see the extent of the price difference. Most likely until the generic gets up and running in production, it won't be the generic cheap that we often hear publicized. As for your other question - Congress investigated them and questioned the same non-profit classification but I guess they got by - FOR NOW. |
