🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 AARP’s Bill Sweeney just issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected drug companies’ appeals challenging Medicare drug price negotiations:

“Today’s Supreme Court order is a major victory for older Americans who have struggled for far too long to afford the medications they need. AARP fought hard for this new law giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices because no American should ever have to choose between filling a prescription and paying for groceries, rent, or other basic necessities.”

In addition to AARP’s long-fought advocacy to give Medicare the authority to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, AARP and AARP Foundation have filed numerous amicus briefs defending the law against challenges brought by drug companies, underscoring the harm older Americans would face if the negotiation program was struck down.

We appreciated the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event, highlighting the important role community leaders play in supporting aging in place.

We kicked off our 2026 Women Build today with meaningful conversations about aging at home and building communities that support independence and safety. A huge THANK YOU to homeowner Carol for sharing her story, and to Juliann Van Liew of Polk County Health Department and Paige Yontz of AARP Iowa for an insightful and engaging discussion.
