Thank you
I was a member for about 10 years. Did not join the last time my subscription was due. I felt I got the same benefits from AAA and I know they are supposed to be an advocate for the retired but in my opinion they don’t seem to be very effective. Except for SS and Medicare, which they had nothing to do with, I cannot think of anything they have done for the elderly.
