Just curious when you guys are going to address and speak to this issue. My guess is many of your members are negatively affected by Advantage plans and more specifically the ones AARP endorses - United healthcare. I am currently living the nightmare of dealing with UHC. Their denial, delay and defend strategies have all been applied to my care which has had a significant negative impact to my care and recovery.  I joined AARP because of your advocacies for seniors. What is currently in the news about the horrors of our healthcare system that are affecting seniors most needs to be talked about.
The fact that AARP has been mostly silent on these matters AND endorses the worst offender is a disservice to your members. You lend your respected name, which I know your are paid handsomely for,  at the peril of your members.
The exposure and pressure to reform their cruel practices needs more coverage, not just a silent endorsement.
Please step up and help us on this issue.
 
Regards
Jim Groll

      I also brought this up in a post last week, but my post was removed.

        Hmm I discussed royalties in a reply today. I wonder when that post of mine will be taken down. AARP owns these forums so freedom of speech is not our right when we post here. AARP though might find it useful to read about complaints and then think about how they can make folks happier or discuss it with UHC (and others they get royalties from) to see if they can get them to fix issues. That certainly would be in the mission of AARP if they so choose.

          Regardless if it's United Health Care or what ever medical plan you have and how benefits are severely cut each year. The truth of the matter is, The United States does not and never has, properly cared for Seniors and/or disabled citizens. It's shameful... a disgrace compared to other countries. This country was built on capitalism, greed and it is a detriment to survival.  Dare I say, I wonder who will be shot next?
