Yes Scott but only AARP has dues to represent their interests. I'm not commenting on their insurance but rather the practice of charging dues to "belong " and the espousing views not held by the membership. Also stating they represent thousands of RP when in fact they represent themselves. Their insurance rates and coverage are competitive.
No different than belonging to Allstate, Farmers or anyone else. You give them money, they provide ins. and use the profits to hire lobbyist. Sure they make out like it's some kind of club but it's all just marketing.
We've actually found AARP car ins rates to be higher than most - at least for us.
I understand you don't like them because they are a liberal company and that's fine - they are that. (would you be against them if they were conservatives with lobbyist?).
It's also true that they are an ins. company that many people are happy with.
