Constant assault of unnecessary mailings. Extending subscription to various affiliates to whom they have sold your name/address and self promotion. This bombardment is more than annoying.
This! And, in my experience, they refuse to take you off their mailing list, or perhaps I am renewing my supposed interest in ways I am not aware of.
Does this organization oppose cuts to SS and Medicare?
The reality is that both programs are going to have to be adjusted. Politicians from all points on the compass have been saying that for decades.
You can politicize it if you wish but that's the long and short of it.
When the last major overhaul of the Social Security system happened 35 years ago the same gloom and doom was heard. Those reforms were adopted by a Republican President and Democrat Congress.
I love AARP. If lobbying to support Social Security and Medicare is wrong, I don't want to be right.
They are looking out for seniors and their needs and interests. I've been a member since I turned 50 and I take advantage of many of their programs. Their newsletter and magazine are very informative and have saved us a lot of time and money by bringing important information to us in two quick and easy to read sources. The discounts have saved us a LOT of money over the years.
They aren't an insurance company. They affiliate with The Hartford, a reputable insurance company, which gives AARP members a small discount on their policies. We have some of our policies with them.
I think some people on this site have been drinking some really weird Kool-Aid.
at least the nra lobbies on behalf of it's members. that is generally not aarps agenda .
as an example low balling you on auto insurance ,sticking you in a high risk group of seniors and then raising the rates to match the groups risk or selling high fee annuity products , is not serving the members .
i am a member for the discounts but i would buy nothing they offer -ever . it seems to be the gist of their existence-selling products .
Well Mathjak,
At least you are honest about it (for the discounts I mean)
You know the news station that has been lying for years. And assaulting and harrassing women for years.
NBC?
