Concept
60 Plus Association
Summary
The 60 Plus American Association of Senior Citizens is an American conservative advocacy group founded in 1992 and based in Alexandria, Virginia. Its stated purpose is to promote solutions to seniors' issues that are grounded in free markets, less government, and less taxes. The organization is pro-Republican Party. The organization is known for its advocacy for the privatization of Social Security and senior citizen health programs, as well as its opposition to the estate tax. The organization has been funded by Charles and David Koch (of Koch Industries). Although the organization did have ties to Koch family in the past, they say that there have been no contributions from anyone in the Koch network for well over a decade.
The organization is known for its advocacy for the privatization of Social Security and senior citizen health programs, as well as its opposition to the estate tax. The organization bills itself as a conservative alternative to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). In the 2012 election, the organization ran a 500 billion from the program.
A 2021 advertising campaign run by 60 Plus asserted that drug price negotiations with pharmaceutical companies would take 300 billion from Medicare." The ad was found to use misleading math and earned Three Pinocchios from Glenn Kessler's "Fact Checker" feature in The Washington Post.
As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, the 60 Plus Association is not required to disclose its donors.
