They are not owned by an insurance company. They are in a partnership with UnitedHealthCare and have been since 1997.
It's a mutually beneficial partnership, which also benefits seniors who participate in both.
I'm not old enough for medicare, and so I get no benefit from the partnership at all. But AARP is one of the strongest lobbyists for Seniors, senior rights, legislation to protect seniors from abuse and crime, and programs for seniors at a statewide and local community level. So I'm fine supporting them for that reason even though my only real benefits are the magazines and a few restaurant discounts.
