From: Mike Hunter on 25 Mar 2010 15:02 The AARP was in favor of the healthcare bill, they are in the insurance business selling those very expensive medi-gap plans. The majority of the members of AARP, on the other hand, were apposed to the bill and from what I read, hundred dropped their membership their in the AARP as result.

From: Mike Hunter on 25 Mar 2010 18:16 I had an AARP medi-gap plan for about six years back in the nineties. I switched to a Blue Cross Advantage plan and saved over $120 a month.

OTOH, the AARP is not the political organization it once was. It has become a marketing organization selling high-price car insurance and property insurance to people that don't know any better. I'm not retired, but as soon as I turned 50 they started mailing me stuff. I joined for one year (free membership through Walgreen's). What a joke. All the products they promote are a rip-off, _especially_ the insurance products. We pay far less for auto and homeowners insurance that the companies they are affiliated with charge. Any other discounts they offer are no better than similar discounts available from other organizations that don't charge for membership. |
