Where I come from, there are plenty of grandmas who are eating cat food or something similar, or choosing between heat and eat or are going hungry, and are struggling with drug donut holes and cutting their pills in half or quarters to make them last longer. As a grandma and great grandma myself, I do not think this is funny and take a comment like that as disrespectful.

About AARP (what this thread is supposed to be about), a Medicare supplement plan is a Medicare supplement plan if its the same plan. My plan F is identical in its benefits to every plan F. But my AARP plan F costs me way less than every other plan F, so somehow its being supplemented or the company is serving me by being willing to make less profit. Does that make AARP socialist? I don't think so. Are they out to sell insurance? I hope they continue to, because they are saving me money that I can use for groceries.

Besides the very low cost driver safety courses that AARP offers, my insurance plan is my only contact with the organization, and I am grateful for the savings. Everything does not have to be political.
