AARP fights for age 50 and over individuals and their families at the local, state and national levels. We work on important issues, such as:
- Leading efforts to update Social Security and promote other retirement savings efforts to help everyone achieve lifetime financial security
- Promoting adequate, affordable health care, including prescription drugs and long-term care
- Fostering communities with affordable and appropriate housing, as well as supportive community features and options for getting around
Recent advocacy victories include passage of family caregiver-support bills in dozens of states and saving residential consumers billions of dollars on utility bills in recent years.
