It seemed to me that they were fascinated with Hollywood, too. The cover of their magazine often had some Hollywood type on it.
That was a red flag for me.

AARP can go suck an egg.

Had to be a member in order to enroll in that health plan, but do NOT have to be a member for annual renewal once you are enrolled.

Now that we have the health plan that we wanted, we have not renewed AARP membership. The health plan continues to roll on.

Thanks for that useful info, V-Tail, very glad to know that. I have my UHC health insurance, won’t re-up with AARP.

"Progressive Insurance: Peter Lewis is the Chairman of Progressive Insurance Companies and outside of George Soros, he may be the biggest liberal sugar daddy on the block. This former close friend of Ted Kennedy has poured tens of millions of dollars into the ACLU, America Coming Together, and MoveOn, among other liberal causes."

When I learned Progressive insurance was driving the Progressive movement with donations and influence I dropped the insurance even though it was the cheapest option. I don't care how much I can save by affiliating myself with socially destructive entities. My principles cannot be bought if there is another option.

Do you like junk mail....lot's of junk mail. Then join AARP.

AARP is ugly and bad.

No. Hell no.

Everything they send me in the mail goes straight into the trash. Not a fan.

As others have stated, I'd go with AMAC, though I have yet to sign up with them.

I swore off AARP the day they bought into the "we have to vote it in to see what's in it" bill. In fact, I took one of their mailings, shredded every page of it, and then sent it all back to them in the postage-paid return envelope along with a note instructing them to take me off their mailing list and that I had better not receive any of their Leftist propaganda ever again.

Must've worked...I haven't gotten anything from them in years.

Left wing nut jobs.

United Healthcare was for the past two years my best option for a Medicare supplement. Because of that for the first year I rejoined AARP after quitting during the ACA debacle.

Changed insurers this year, went with a Medicare Advantage plan with Aetna. Seems that United does not offer one in my county.

Done with AARP completely again.

If you a liberal, progressive democrat, you will be happy with their political vibes, views and opinions. Otherwise, don't get involved with this radical, idiotic moronic crap and the people associated with them, but run away, and run fast and far.....Good Riddance to the AARP!

We also need it for our UHC supplemental. They are left leaning tools but also offer significant discounts on many things and are a powerful voice for social security and medicare. I don't read any of their literature.

You only need it to enroll. Once you have enrolled in the supplemental insurance, you are free to drop AARP membership. You will be able to keep your supplemental UHC insurance, as long as you keep paying the premiums, without AARP membership.

We dropped our AARP years ago, and our UHC supplemental insurance keeps rolling along.

You can contact AARP to confirm this. I did. Of course, they tried to give me all the reasons that I should continue to pay AARP dues, but they did admit that AARP membership is not required in order to continue UHC supplemental insurance, once it has started.

I'm guessing that insurance regulations will not permit UHC to drop you for a reason like no longer an AARP member.

^^^^ This, unless your mailbox is lonely.

I've got a few years still before they start bugging me, but I'll tell you an experience my Father in law had.

Somewhere around 2006 or 2007 my wife and I were paying around $800 per year for full insurance on my 2006 nissan frontier and my wife's 2001 saturn sedan combined. My father-in-law had a "special deal" through AARP where he was paying almost $900 per year for less coverage on a early 90's Chevy Blazer. When he found out how much we were paying he called and asked why his was so high. Whoever his AARP insurer was told him that he was getting a much reduced rate and that if he started looking around and shopping insurance the insurance companies would know and would charge him more or not cover him at all and he'd lose his insurance. He had an excellent driving record.

They are predators.

AARP is anti-gun, anti-American
Fuck them

I wish I could find a way to shove all their junk mail up somebody's ass

Most of the junk mail comes with a business reply envelope enclosed. Just stuff it full of whatever you want to return to them and drop it in the mailbox. They pay the postage.

Not exactly the orifice I was hoping for, but that'll do...
Thanks V-Tail

I'm in the same boat I have to belong to get my insurance. If not I'd never give them a dime.
