What is wrong with the AARP?

Let's play a game. Let's say that your the AARP and one your members hasn't paid her premiums for the past ten months

The truly annoying thing about this is that I never received any bills at all, nor have any of my neighbors mentioned receiving any. I paid to join AARP last year and was under the impression that they had been paying a portion of my supplemental insurance.

(If you want Medicare Part D--the Prescription Plan--in my state, you MUST have Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B AND supplemental insurance. It will probably not surprise anyone to learn that much of my Social Security Disability, which is what I live on, is devoted simply to paying for various forms of insurance, a second mortgage and credit card debt which are both related to a disabling illness about six years back, and pharmacy bills.)

I don't see the part about increasing the premiums.

It's down near the bottom of the comments in gehayi's reply to me.

I hate when people treat elderly that can't defend themselves badly :(

Semi-related. I some how got an AARP card in the mail before I turned 21 lol. I think I've lost it since then. Not enough people caught on to how funny it was when I'd show them.

The AARP has come across to me like it is a union run by some sort of mob...
