New York’s powerful 1199 SEIU union is already cashing in on Gov.
Kathy Hochul’s disastrous and allegedly rigged revamp of the state’s
$11 billion home care Medicaid program, The Post has learned. |
The politically influential labor group has started
moving to unionize the hundreds of thousands of home health aides
employed through the allegedly fraud-ridden taxpayer-funded program,
and will likely reap a massive windfall in dues.
Officials from 1199,
which supported the overhaul, have been meeting weekly with
Public Partnerships LLC, the company that was awarded the contract
to manage the massive Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program
as part of Hochul’s reshuffle.
Hochul’s administration has for months been dogged by allegations
that the bidding process for the roughly $1 billion contract to
oversee the CDPAP payroll
was rigged in favor of PPL.
What is CDPAP?
Only one person truly knows what the best home care for you should
look like — you.
That’s why the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program (CDPAP)
puts you in full control of your home care.
Here’s the great news: CDPAP — funded by New York Medicaid — gives
you something truly empowering: the ability to direct your own care,
including choosing the person who will be paid to be your caregiver.
Even better, that caregiver, known as a Personal Assistant (PA), can
be someone close to you — a daughter, son, niece, friend, or trusted
neighbor. The choice is entirely yours, because that’s how care
should be.
The PA you select will be paid to provide the personalized, loving
support that only someone who truly knows you can offer. |

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson to make first in-person
court appearance.
Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charge while media coalition
pushes for access to sealed proceedings.
The man accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie
Kirk is set to make his first in-person court appearance Thursday,
nearly three months after his arrest. Tyler Robinson — charged with
aggravated murder and multiple related felonies in Kirk’s fatal
Sept. 10 shooting at Utah Valley University — has only appeared
remotely in prior hearings, participating via video or audio from
the jail.
This hearing marks the most significant step in the case so far and
comes amid mounting concerns over the growing secrecy surrounding
the proceedings. Kirk’s widow and numerous media outlets, including
Fox News, have raised alarms about the limited public access to
filings and closed-door developments. A coalition of news
organizations is now formally demanding greater transparency as the
case moves forward.
The Thursday, December 11th, appearance is expected to provide the
first meaningful look at how prosecutors intend to proceed, the
evidence likely to emerge, and whether the judge will address
ongoing transparency challenges. The outcome could set the tone for
the rest of this high-profile case.
A legal analyst is available to break down:
What to expect from Robinson’s first in-person appearance
How secrecy and sealed filings could shape the prosecution
The role of public-access rights in high-profile murder cases
Key factors judges weigh in politically sensitive or high-threat
cases
How early court motions may signal the strength and strategy of both
sides

New Report Exposes AARP’s Role in Push
for Massive Insurance Bailouts Amid
Government Shutdown Showdown October 11,
2025
Washington, D.C. — As Congress faces
a government shutdown, a new report from
American Commitment exposes how AARP
— a major lobbying force in Washington —
is working hand-in-hand with the health
insurance industry to make pandemic-era
Obamacare subsidies permanent.
The report, “How AARP Makes Health Insurance
Unaffordable for Its Members,” details how
AARP received a staggering $9 billion
payout from UnitedHealth, the nation’s
largest health insurer, and has since used
its lobbying arm to push for a $40
billion-a-year extension of supersized
Obamacare subsidies—direct taxpayer payments
to insurance companies.
“Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem
Jeffries have shut down the government until
taxpayers fork over another $40 billion a
year to massive health insurance companies,”
said Phil Kerpen, president of
American Commitment. “It’s outrageous
that they shut down the government to serve
the same insurers who fund AARP’s
billion-dollar kickbacks. Congress should
say no to bailouts for big insurance.”
AARP’s Hidden Conflicts
According to the report, AARP has quietly
built a financial empire tied to the very
insurance companies now demanding more
taxpayer money:
-
$9.1
Billion Payment from UnitedHealth: In
2024, AARP restructured its licensing
agreement with UnitedHealth and received
a one-time $9.062 billion payment--31
times its total membership dues
revenue—in exchange for an exclusive
marketing deal.
-
Lobbying
for Subsidy Extensions: Despite claiming
to champion “affordability,” AARP has
lobbied Congress to make the enhanced
Obamacare subsidies permanent—a
taxpayer-funded bailout that would
directly benefit its corporate partner
UnitedHealth.
Subsidies
for Insurers, Not Seniors
During the pandemic, Congress dramatically
expanded Obamacare subsidies, signing up
millions of people who paid nothing for
their coverage. But new analyses show that
allowing these temporary “COVID bonuses” to
expire would still leave enrollees paying
only a fraction of their premiums:
-
At 100%
of poverty, taxpayers cover 98% of
premiums.
-
At 150%,
taxpayers cover 92%
-
Even at
200%, the subsidy remains at 81%.
“Why
is that not enough?” Kerpen asked. “The
truth is, these subsidies aren’t about
helping patients—they’re about padding
insurance company profits and keeping the
AARP-UnitedHealth money machine running.”
A Call to Action
American Commitment is urging lawmakers to
reject any deal that extends the supersized
Obamacare subsidies or any other taxpayer
giveaways to the insurance industry.
“It’s shameful that Schumer and Jeffries are
demanding a massive ransom for mega-insurers
like UnitedHealth—currently under criminal
investigation—just to reopen government,”
said Kerpen. “Congress must stand up for
taxpayers and seniors, not the special
interests making billions off them.” |
