I think they -AARP- have long been a thorn in the side of those who they pretend to "represent".<br /> We had the same argument around my house, but that has changed with the reality of what "for profit" really means... Not in the best interest of anyone but the stockholders. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/aarp-is-betraying-their-members-trust#post-88 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 13:58:59 +0000 Peg in Ok 88@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I'm a little late to this topic, but, wanted to say (as much as it pains me to admit)...my husband was right! He has opposed AARP for years because they are big money backers of the special interest groups that are anything but Boomer friendly. If you research their "voting" (by giving money) record, you will see that they have a good share of the blame for a lot of the most trying messes we are in. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/aarp-is-betraying-their-members-trust#post-85 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 22:14:18 +0000 Darrow55 85@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>I see it everyday!!! You've seen the ads on TV about the life insurance. It's horrible what they are doing to us. Term Life for someone over 65 for only $10,000? They know these people are on a limited income, yet they sell them something that increases in premium every 5 yrs. and has a 2 yr. waiting period. Sounds to me like AARP is getting more than their $25 membership fee. I got my Life Insurance through seniorbenefitse.com they had way more options and no waiting periods LOL. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/aarp-is-betraying-their-members-trust#post-84 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 15:19:45 +0000 bob3660 84@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Well...I'm not sure what's up with that, but what I CAN say is that as far as auto insurance goes, I was with Farmer's Insurance Group for years and years. When I contacted AARP's preferred insurance provider, THE HARTFORD, I saved exactly $1,000 annually on my auto insurance, so I can't really complain. </p> http://babyboomersus.net/topic/aarp-is-betraying-their-members-trust#post-6 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:50:46 +0000 Joe Hauckes 6@http://babyboomersus.net/ <p>Not only are they betraying their members, they are in a total conflict of interest.<br /> For those of you who don't know or realize it, AARP has a wholly owned subsiderary that is a FOR Profit insurance provider, which includes Medicare and Medicaid supplimental insurers.<br /> If this new healthcare overhaul is passed, the insurance companies will profit, Medicare will collapse and we will all die younger as a result.<br /> My opinion, bur I plan on quitting AARP if I can't trust them to look out for my best interest as a Baby Boomer of 56 </p>
