The AARP evolved from an insurance company consumers group to an organization dedicated to serving the interests of Senior Citizens. It has done a remarkably good job of letting Seniors know what is going on in Washington and whistle-blowing public and private items that are not in our best interests. Then the AARP endorsed Government Health Care, saying it would lower our insurance costs, raise Medicare benefits and lower Medicare costs. The opposite is true. Insurance costs are already rising and we are facing a decrease in Medicare benefits and government financing. AARP is looking forward to increased insurance commissions. What a rip-off from an organization claiming to be a senior-citizen guardian.

Two week later still waiting.AS far as a supplemental for Medicare you have to be sixty five or older.Stay away from aarp American association for ripping off people
About 10 years ago I applied for and i accepted a quote for auto insurance. They saved me about 100 dollars. Then the next year they sent me a bill for nearly double the amount. When I called to find out why they said Hawaii was an extreme situation. I immediately call my previous carriers GEICO, and renewed with them at a lower cost than previously . Does aarp condone this practice or make money from it. Am I the exception or the rule or is this your way of subsidising you incomes.. Please respond.
The same just happened to me my yearly aarp hartford auto ins. Increased by over 300.00 i called my ins. Broker and got the same coverage from travelers for 600.00 less per year. It seems insurance companies are only competitive if you get multi-bids every year!
I switched to AARP as the carrier that I pay my premium to for my Delta Dental coverage. I have had Delta Dental for 5 years, but decided to change my carrier to AARP after they continued to solicit my business. There was no difference in the amount of premium cost, and since I had been a Delta Dental customer for 5 years, I was lead to believe it was a switch in carriers only. But when I had to have a cracked tooth crowned, and received a bill for $1800.00, I went back to AARP only to be told that there was a waiting period associated with my policy. Even though the insurance was through Delta Dental. So my experience with the "senior friendly advocates" at AARP was unethical, and were not up front with the details of the policy. I HAD NO NEED TO CHANGE, EXCEPT FOR THE COMFORT OF THE AARP REPUTATION. So do your homework before trusting this organization. They are in the game for money.
We received the letter from UnitedHealthcare. It is announced that the rate for our AARP UHC Supplemental Insurance plan N will increase 12.4% for the year 2024. The inflation rate in June was 3%, in July 2023 3.3%. How can the medical insurance get the rate increase 4 times higher than the inflation rate? Who profits from such a business decision? Who cares about retirees with a fixed income?
What does AARP do to protect American retired persons from greedy insurers? Or the AARP activity is advertisement only?
I agree with all the above comments on AARP medicare insurance they are just are a rip off like all the other insurance companies. Because my SS checks come at the end of the month they refuse to credit my payments that come in on the end of the month as a payment for the first of the month so I am always a month late by their records.
