AARP - ASSOCIATION AGAINST RETIRED PEOPLE

Have you really paid attention to the AARP TV ads. The part that picked up my ears was where AARP states they will even cover your visit to a specialist without prior approval. I have no doubt the will. But have you considered medicare. You go to see a medical specialist. AARP covers say $400.00. You are happy as a bug in the rug, but then bad news hits, medicare is not going to cover the specialist because you didn't get prior approval from them and if you did try they may turned you down and now you are on the hook for a few thousand dollars you have to pay. A little misleading ad don't you think?

Two points to remember, first AARP is in for the high profits they make selling health insurance to those covered by medicare. So keep that in mind when you watch their ads, what are they really hiding? And secondly, don't just jump into anything until you really understand what it is, what it offers and how much it will cost. This is true for AARP and your friendly health care specialist at Capital Hill.

People, despite what congress is telling you, in the end you will be stuck with a national health care plan you will not want and one that is going to cost you a lot. Already one part of all the health care plans being offered up by both the house and senate will head to the Supreme Court. A few states are already considering not making it mandatory for people to purchase health care. This flies in the face in what congress will be coming out with. I'll side on states rights on this one. Just remember, the states gave the federal government certain rights via the constitution. Anything not in the constitution is left for the individual states to deal with.
