NASCON: The AARP Alternative for Conservatives?

I, too, use AARP Medi-Gap. There is never a question but that the bill is paid immeidately. It's usually something small and insignificant but still it's reassuring to know that it's reliable if something serious arises.

"They only care about themselves and could care less if they leave this nation broke..."

I think you mean they could NOT care less, etc. etc.

And, if that is what you mean, then I fully agree.

Even if NASCON got every retiree to switch from AARP except the AARP board of directors the MSM would never acknowledge they existed.

But that shouldn't let retirees from joining up enmasse and cutting their funding.

bump!

AARP settled with IRS for over one hundred million bucks (SEE: http://www.usanext.org/full_story.cfm?article_id=109&category_id=3).

Less well-known, they settled with the USPS for several million dollars for postage deficiencies resulting from the fraudulent misuse of their non-profit postage permit ~ they initially offered but 10 cents on the dollar owed.

Frankly, I could never in good conscience join or support this organization. No one else should do so either.

AARP is a bunch of fricking hypocrites trashing Bush's Social Security reform plan but giving advice to members about investing in the stock market and where to shield your retirement income from the IRS. I'm sure AARP executives also aren't relying on SS. The pronunciation of their acronym is approprate for them.

They also make allot of money selling their products like mutual funds.

They know that Social Security will fail.

They are just milking the old folks with their AARP lies.

Some of the comments on this thread reflect perfectly why the greatest generation is great only so long as it's all about them.

bump for future reference

[HighlyOpinionated]

I joined up and am number 503!

Look at their Medicare Part D option -- looks better than others I've looked at but since I don't need it for 3+ years, I've not delved into it.

I also emailed family and friends who might be interested in AARPs alternative.

Happy New Year.

[crude77]

I was thinking that Art Linklatter had something to do with some kind of a alternative to AARP. Don’t recall the name of it.

How is the nascon Working out I am 54?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

I asked to join 1/1/2006 but only got information
on them selling various insurance type policies.

I never got any information on joining just asking
to buy insurance.

[philly-d-kidder]

I can’t find them.....

[Sudetenland]

If you guys are still looking, NASCON became the American Seniors Association (ASA).
I am researching them for my blog.

They offer Medicare prescription insurance discounts, travel discounts (I'm not certain how extensively they are recognized) and best of all, they are not in bed with the Democrat Party.

AARP is merely another organization in a very long list of organizations that are part of the liberal progressive deception. In other words, they are not what they appear to be and are deceiving many. In my estimation, that makes the pure and simply evil in nature. There are alternatives like the American Seniors Association and others. Just say NO to the AARP!
