Drop AARP now - they are a shill for UnitedHealthcare [View all]

One easy action: Drop your AARP membership and let them know why on their Facebook page (leave comment on a post), Instagram, or (if you still use it) X,

Why?

"UnitedHealthcare has the worst record among all large insurers in denying necessary medical care to its subscribers.The data confirm what far too many patients experience. In 2023, UnitedHealth’s denial rate of claims was 32 percent, compared to an industry average of 16 percent. Nonprofits had a far better record than for-profits.

...

Why on earth would consumers buy such a flawed insurance product? It helps if they are captive customers, steered to UnitedHealth by a trusted source.

That would be AARP.

AARP has just under 38 million members. But AARP is basically an insurance marketing scheme masquerading as an advocacy group for the elderly.

For 27 years, UnitedHealth has been the co-branded choice of AARP. If you are looking for a supplemental policy to conventional Medicare, or a Medicare Advantage product, or a Medicare drug insurance policy, AARP will steer you to UnitedHealth. And only to UnitedHealth."
