NRLN & AREF: Protecting Retiree Benefits and Fighting Medicare Privatization in 2026

In this 2026 podcast episode, Bill Kadereit of the National Retiree Legislative Network (NRLN) and the American Retiree Education Foundation (AREF) explains that NRLN is a nonpartisan 501(c)(4) representing over 2 million seniors from about 300 companies and public entities across all states, advocating to protect pensions, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and reduce prescription drug costs, funded primarily by member contributions without corporate or large-donor money. He describes AREF as a separately financed 501(c)(3) producing research and position papers on issues including pension risk transfers, Medicare guarantee rights, and retiree protections in mergers and bankruptcies. Kadereit argues Congress is highly partisan and has ignored long-known funding challenges as population growth slows and seniors grow as a share of the population, and he highlights senior voter power. He details NRLN’s Action Alert system on NRLN.org to help members contact elected officials, and warns Medicare Advantage subsidies raise costs, citing higher per-enrollee costs, large rebates, and privatization risks, urging support for NRLN.
