Good riddance! Since it's inception it has been a worthless organization.
“I joined so I could get the cheap insurance.”
“Me too....but don’t you have to be an AARP member to keep your coverage?”
My brother called the Hartford up and they said that as long as you keep the insurance active you do not need to be a member. If you discontinue the insurance and then want it again then you must join AARP again. I haven’t been a member for over a year and I keep putting their notices in the garbage can.
I’ve always been under the impression that their insurance was actually more expensive than others.
Kill off the AARP? I might have to support this.
Thank all you AARP members for destroying our Constitutional government.
Thank God I had a Dad that alerted me to these dangerous clowns who invest MILLIONS of your dollars for Socialist programs and schmoozing congressthugs to help enslave you.
I stopped their mailouts by drawing a black border with Marks-a-lot around their “contribution/membership” request and a skull and crossbones in the center telling them not to mail me anything again—SOCIALIST! They haven’t and that’s been 17 years.
I won’t betray my country by spending a cent with them.
Just called AARP and the customer service rep confirmed that you do not have to be an active member to keep the health insurance. Told her how disgusted I was that they are backing this socialized medicine plan.
We can only hope!! However with DeathCare as the "prize" for killing AARP, the price is still waaaaaaaa - aaaaaaaaayyyyy too high!!!
Spread the word. I’ll bet there are many like us who want the insurance but do not want to support AARP. I haven’t taken their 55 Alive class which is free to AARP members but I’ll sacrifice and pay the $14 dollars for the course when I get the chance.

President Obama addressed AARP members’ questions about health care reform at a tele-town hall, Tuesday, July 28, 2009.
Check out the comments on it today on the AARP website.
“Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. He has already been appointed to two key positions: health-policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget and a member of Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research.

Savings, he writes, will require changing how doctors think about their patients: Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously, “as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others” (Journal of the American Medical Association, June 18, 2008).

He says medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled,

So if according to Emanuel, the NONdisabled should not get medical care, what is to happen to adults and children with cerebral palsy, people with dementia, or Americans who have Parkinson’s?
And AARP supports THIS?
