Buyer beware! I attempted to join back in December, but never received any information either by email, or by postal mail telling me that I was now a member. The $16.00 yearly fee was taken out of my account, but not interaction from AMAC at all. I called the help desk twice and talked to two very nice people, but still no response. I have now asked paypal to get involved to resolve the issue. I hope that AMAC isn’t as poor at providing the services they offer as they are a getting people signed up. I really don’t want to sign up with AARP but am greatly disappointed with the service thus far. You can’t be taking people’s money an not providing any interaction with them. Better get your act together or you will fail miserably as a alternative to AARP. Sorry for being harsh, but this is NOT a good customer relations practice.

How ’bout some manners on this site. Such rudeness is inexcusable. I guess the “O” stands for “Omniscient.” Of course ObamaCare is not socialist—–initially. But the end result IS. Five or ten years down the road is when the competition goes away because the insurance companies can’t just raise taxes when the money runs out.

Hey Michael F.:
He ‘works’ for GE who doesn’t pay any taxes, makes the environmentally unfriendly curly cue light bulbs, doesn’t pay any taxes with a chairman that also moonlights as a (failed) jobs czar for Bozo Obama. He can spend all day didling on his computer–no worries…

ObamaCare is government controlled. It’s set up so that whatever private insurance there is, will be put out of business because the government will do it cheaper to the customer, but more expensive to the taxpayer. I don’t know if that’s socialism, tyranny or what but it sure isn’t free market capitalism! Yes Medicare is socialist too and needs to be amended and eventually eliminated. So, i’ll give you a B for being partly right.

Sorry, my last post should have read “costs and accessibility ISSUES…”

AARP has tried to MAKE me take their membership, sent me cards, enrolled me “free” without my permission, etc. AARP can take a hike. I am a Life Member of the NRA and AARP has taken endless anti-Second Amendment positions. I know they support ObamaCare and according to Steve O. from previous posts, it’s not being called socialist by those of his political persuasion (he calls himself a “moderate”, which means liberal). However it maintains a Big-Brother-esque REQUIREMENT for insurance purchase and gives limited choices of “private plans” that meet government guidelines. Having worked with government contracts for decades I can promise you that the GUIDELINES are where the devil resides in this. Look, we could greatly lower the costs and accessibility of health care by allowing citizens to purchase insurance across state lines, as Ron Paul has suggested. This injects serious competition into the whole argument and takes government out of the equation. If you don’t cover something, customers go elsewhere. If you charge too much, customers go elsewhere. Eventually the laws of supply and demand bring better insurance at lower costs than any REQUIRED government plan. Glad to see AMAC is available

I have read all the comments posted and was most impressed with the comments by Steve O. So much so, that my husband and I have decided to go with AMAC. Thanks Steve!
