AARP Membership?

Posted on 09/15/2022 10:03:18 AM PDT by far sider

My wife has been wanting us to join AARP for some kind of prescription or medical benefit. I don't want to because....AARP. Is this a good idea financially? Does AMAC have anything comparable? Thanks.

—> They’ll probably spend a hell of a lot more than that on mailings to you to get to to renew. If you don’t mind the junkmail, you’ll probably end up costing them money in the long run.

An excellent point!

If she insists on the aarp, divorce is the best option.

Right. I believe we’re grandfathered in F. IIRC it was because F had good coverage out of the country and we cruised a lot. It was several years ago when we signed up.

I might FReepmail you in a while...

I’ll look into that.

I always avoided the leftist leaning AARP.

Never agreed with their politics.

Go with AMAC. Similar benefits as AARP but they are unabashedly conservative. AARP supports all the lefts ideas.

I’ve returned all of their correspondence with “Traitor” written on the outside of the envelope.

They no longer send me stuff.

AARP is definitely lefty-use AMAC-most discounts on either one are so-so and can be given from Auto Club or Costco or even through insurance companies like Aetna

One can move to California and get “free” money too.

Thanks, but I’ll pass on both.

Need more info...she want a “Medigap”/Medicare policy? Regular “under 65” health insurance? Rx discounts? AARP = “United Healthcare” for Medigap and as previously mentioned they helped gut Medicare Advantage ($500 billion) under Obamacare...AARP = bad!

AMAC has all 3 of the above mentioned benefits:

AMAC advocates means testing to get social security benefits. This means you will get less if you have a higher income from other sources like pensions and 401K to include personal savings. So I am joining neither.

N is a good plan with you paying a percentage of costs beyond the premium, which is why the premium is less than the more comprehensive Plan G, or the cheaper Plan G Hi Deduct which means you cover the first $2450 annually and then the plan kicks in. It’s all math, so look at your “utilization”, project what you need to do in visits, procedures annually and then decide the likelihood of unexpected surprises and decide how much you want to insure for an accident, versus paying less premium and picking up the percentage or deductible if you have some new utilization. Plan G is now the largest new pool since they closed F... ymmv...

One good thing about NYS is they don’t allow DR to charge excesses with Medicaid plans. We have great hospitals snd doctors. If only we could get rid of rats and politicians.
