I strongly recommend that any Conservatives join NASCON (the National Association for Senior Concerns).

If it takes more than a minute to find this outfit's website on a major search engine, I strongly wonder why!

Still searching. Three minutes...bad requests, page not found, etc.

AARP is a big supporter of National Health care. Wait until the fools who support AARP find out they are going to die because their treatment was denied by the Tom Dashel “health” commisar.

These are the same fools who believe the record cool spell of last yerar and again this year is caused by global warming.

God help us but most people in this country are too lazy to think.

I appreciate the tip. I’ve been throwing the AARP mailings in the trash since my 50th b-day. Nice ti know there’s an alternative.

It always puzzles me when I read stuff like this because my total annual premium with AARP is $588 for three vehicles (no collision coverage, though).


Have you gotten any competitive bids lately. That would be the true test.

AARP is one of the biggest scams in the country, IMO.

Seems to me I recently saw a spate of articles basically saying the AARP supplements were expensive and had extremely limited benefits. I'll see if I can find a link.

Have you ever filed on your AARP insurance?

First, I share other’s concerns about AARP. However,their supplemental medical coverage is just fantastic. My premiums for the first year were $110/month and I have not paid one cent out of pocket for my medical care. I get chmotherapy which is not cheap and I have never had one negative inquiry from them and they pay 100%. Many of my physiciam friends swear by it too!

Insurance companies are different as is each person - I guess everyone has to make their own ‘best deal’.

I can carry 10x the insurance for 10% more than AARP quoted with the folks that carry my policy.

Oh well, I guess that’s why there are so many different outfits looking for your business/money.

"I apoligize, I thought they were a senior network started by retired leftists school teachers. "

Note to self - not all public school teachers are lefists. Some actually do a good job teaching children.

I guess the moonbats make the lot look bad - which is a shame.
