AARP members: Will you boycott AARP this year?

Poll question: AARP members: Will you boycott AARP this year?

[KCDem]

1. not an AARP member,

and I don't pay attention to them. What's the deal?

3. They will be launching an expensive campaign to support the GOP

compromise bill for Medicare prescription coverage, on the aslleged basis that "it's better than nothing."

2. Well, I have a problem.

My husband's Medi-gap insurance is from AARP and I can't continue it without AARP membership. I don't dare try to get another insurance because of the pre-existing condition thing. I guess I am stuck but I will be voicing my disgust in many letters to them until they change their tune. When DH dies and he's working on it, then I will dump them.

5. I have my auto through them

But I will happily spend a few more bucks a year to dump AARP. They are nothing more than an insurance company now, anyway. They are not in the business of representing the membership, they are in the business of business. Their HMO will make out from this bill, while the members will lose. We need to get the media on this revolt and that is what it is. The membership is hot.....I called yesterday and got my complaint in ahead of todays rush. Friend has been trying to get to the state chapter on the phone and it keeps ringing busy. Either they have it off the hook or it really is that busy.

:argh:

4. Damn them!! I will no longer get old....

Yep they were waiting for me to crusty up and join their ranks but as of now NO MORE AGING...Me and MJ (but no little kids)

6. WTF ??? I got an invitation to membership in my mail yesterday

and I'm not even retired!! Hell, I'm not even 50 years old yet (when you apparently get the invitation to subscribe to Modern Maturity!!)

:shrug:

7. My wife is over 50, and, thus, I can be a member.

We haven't upped our membership, and now I don't think we should.
