United Healthcare is sold through AARP, a big supporter of Obamacare. I’ve often heard that AARP was created as a vehicle to sell insurance to seniors. Because of my specific needs, I was advised to select United as my Medicare supplemental insurance. Odd that AARP membership was required as a condition of signing up although I was allowed to let it lapse after the first year. Also a strange coincidence that Medicare payments are being cut which in turn will require more reliance on supplemental plans leading to higher enrollment and greater profits for those remaining insurance companies. Of course the governmental promise to cover losses ensures insurance companies will still be around but taxpayers will carry a double burden through higher insurance costs and higher taxes. Does anyone see a conflict here or perhaps collusion between insurance companies and the Democratically controlled congress that passed this gosh awful bill?
Medicare supplement is pretty much the same for the same plan. What did UHC have?
