Reply #46: AARP

[Allyoop]

Another satisfied customer ---- ME! I bought their supplemental health care insurance "F" and have been quite pleased with what they cover that Medicare would leave to me. I take no prescription drugs so didn't sign up for the drug insurance from the government.

I too was dismayed that AARP went along with the drug plan - but the whole medical system of this country is FUBAR! I don't blame AARP for that. They do intend to keep lobbying to get it right.

I like the magazine and the monthly flyer and the Suduko and crossword puzzle online!

Do they take in a lot of money they could probably spend better? - probably, but the membership money is minimal and the supplemental insurance programs are in line if not better than Blue Cross which I hope to never have to deal with again. BC had dismal intake people. If you called you were on hold forever, given answers you knew could not be right, had to insist on speaking to a supervisor to get the straight scoop. BC tried to deny any claim I made and insisted on hiking my premium because of prior conditions although I had no record of needing intervention or medications for about 20 years before I applied.

It's like old home week when I call AARP and my questions are answered promptly and politely.

I have a discount card that gives me breaks at drug stores if I need a medication - and on specs, etc.

I like them!
