AARP

Is AARP really looking out for you? I don’t think so! They have made a decision to support the Healthcare Plan, but they did not ask the members for their opinion. Then it comes out that the Director of AARP had given a lot of money to the OBAMA campaign. Granted the Director has the freedom to decide who he supports, but that does not give him or the organization the right to use the membership of AARP to show support for OBAMA or anyone else without the memberships okay. If this is the way they look after their membership, I prefer to be on my own. They are only after the dollars that AARP members bring in to them through memberships, healthcare, auto insurance, credit cards, etc.

I cancelled my membership in AARP along with my auto insurance through them and my AARP credit card as I want nothing in my possession that gives any indication that I might be in support of their decisions. I cancelled my memberships earlier when they were waffling about whether they were supporting the healthcare plan or not. I never did have any of their healthcare plans as I am not a fan of United Health Care nor are my doctors. When I started looking for senior healthcare, I talked with my doctors to see which healthcare plans treated them the best and gave them fewer headaches in treating their patients. Unfortunately since health insurance is not available across state lines and also varies from county to county, it is difficult to recommend any companies for other people.

The best way to show you are unhappy with this organization is to cancel your membership and any of the organizations that are a part of AARP. If and when you decide to cancel your membership, be sure to ask for a refund of your dues!
Since the new enrollment year for health insurance is coming up, you can start now researching new healthcare plans which will take effect January 1, 2010. Medicare sends each member a book called “MEDICARE AND YOU” which lists all available insurance plans in your area plus there will be numerous meetings held by insurance carriers to inform people about the benefits they offer.

Good luck and remember, we still live in America and still have the freedom to decide for ourselves. DO NOT LET THIS ADMINISTRATION TAKE THAT FREEDOM FROM US.

VOTE AND SUPPORT THE FREEDOMS GIVEN TO US BY GOD AND OUR FOREFATHERS!
