I moved from here to assist my mother in her daily tasks and have now started to assist her with paying her bills every month and I came across two payment books which total $214.00 a month. When I asked my mother she said that they were premiums for health insurance and prescriptions and AARP said that she would get additional health insurance money to pay for hospital stays and any operations or tests that might be required by her doctor. The prescription benefit is supposed to be lower prices for the drugs she takes. Well I questioned both of these payments and I have found the dark side of AARP. Preying on seniors make the minority party look like Mother Theresa compared to AARP. This is a deep, deep subject and we as bloggers need to spread the word when it comes to these (God dam'it I would rate these people below child molesters) people. Here is a woman 83 years old who believes that AARP has her best interest at heart and I don't know and according to AARP can't find out unless I get power of attorney from my mother. We all need to get to work and expose this fraud for what is is, playing on the elderly for nothing more than their fear of not getting the medical attention they need to live. Sad.
Many have been paying for years.
I am so disappointed in AARP. I am 75 year old woman.I have also a Medicare card. In 1997 I thouht I need a Supplement Insurance from AARP - insured by United Health Care - I trusted them.
They raise the Premiums every year, now I have to pay every month
$ 212.77 even though pay very little or not even a cent.
I also have a AARP Medicare R/X Plan for my Medication,insured by
United Health Care,I pay every month $39.40 but they pay so little, or
nothing at all. I think, they are ripping off the Elderly.
They are raking Billiones Dollars every year.
see what these guy have to say.
