I joined AARP when I hit 55 for the discounts. When I got on medicare at age 65 I enrolled in its United healthcare supplemental health and prescription insurance plans. I rarely have needed a prescription but the health insurance supplement seems to pay most charges (of which there have been few) just fine. Although I have other options my feeling remains that AARP enrolls so many people in its insurance plans they will continue into the future.
Actually I initially enjoyed the AARP magazine and the discounts when I remembered to ask for them but its imperatives drifted over the years and went from merely being offensive to quite repulsive to me. When I found I could drop the membership and keep the health insurance I did so.
