American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) does not exist anymore.
It is now known only by the initials AARP, which can be validated at their website.
This allows them a wolf in sheeps clothing approach for liberal advocacy while exploiting mature folks who mistakingly believe it is a “retired persons” lobbying organization.
AARP sells Medigap policies to pick up medical expenses that Medicare does not. It helps AARP’s cause if Medicare continues to raise deductibles and lessen benefits.
Most people do not realize that retirees continue to pay Medicare premiums for Parts B & D. In addition, the premiums for AARP sponsored Medigap plans are no bargain.
IIRC, elderly neighbors pay $3,600 per year for Medicare coverage and $3,600 for Medigap plan... almost all of their SS income.
