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.
My point to Buggy went ......wooooooshhhhh.......right over your head. It wasn't meant to be taken literally.

I also do not believe for one minute that anyone is eating cat food, not with all the money thrown at people with "food stamps". Give me a break.

AARP give the vast share of it political support to Democrats and liberal causes. That's all that's being discussed here.

Glad you love AARP, but they don't get a dime of my money if I can help it.
