Screw the AARP. Join AMAC instead. They have the insurance et al
Then my son who sells ins looks into what they were recommending for their seniors this year. AARP MC, the same plan I found. I said well I can call and sign up then, but he said if I went through him he'd get the commission.
I don't know if there is a reliable better deal out there for next year.
I never joined AARP. As a govt worker, they started on me early, finally gave up lol. In those days, I thought they were probably a benign organization, just don't like more piddley payments for dues. They didn't have anything I wanted really.
