There are several posts here promoting AARP insurance. I was an AARP member a few years ago. They would periodically send me mail promoting their car insurance or health insurance. When I compared the prices for those insurance products with what I already had they were much more expensive. You would think that if AARP was using its millions of members as an incentive to insurance companies, that they would get better rates than non-AARP insurance offers. I wonder where that extra money is going? Maybe into the pockets of the executives at AARP?
You got this right.
AARP is a insurance company. It started out selling Colonial Penn life insurance years ago. It now realizes there is money in health insurance. It claims to be a advocate for the older citizens but in reality is a advocate for the good of the company. For that you pay them to belong. A old carnival owner once said something about a sucker born every minute.
