I can't afford Cadillacs :-)

Nothing wrong with the AARP insurance. It’s United Healthcare, and their Plan F
is the Cadillac of Medicare Supplemental insurance.

I wouldn't for a minute go for the insurance.. I toss all references to such..
the mag has some interesting articles and sometimes nice long lists of
different categories of things
that I find useful - The only other subscription I have is the Berkeley
Wellness Letter (which I just re upped for after not doing it for a few years)
AARP doesnt have my email address, happily .. they probably don't even know I
have a computer.

My primary medical provider is the VA. I go to the local clinic or to one of
the specialty clinics at the hospital. It's not supposed to cost me anything.
That was the agreement when I enlisted in 1975 and those benefits were
confirmed when I got my 20 year letter in 1995. I stayed in a dozen more years
beyond that, retiring in 2007.
I don't understand how Medicare works with the VA. My Medicare Part B is
Tri-Care for Life, but they don't give me any kind of card showing I'm covered.
I get bills from the VA on a regular basis. They show someone paying them. If
the bill is for more than Medicare pays they eventually deduct it from my
Social Security or from my Retired Pay.
They're not supposed to. I earned VA care for life, but they apparently changed
the rules while I was in Iraq in 2004 and are applying them to me retroactively.
So, I don't need insurance coverage from AARP. Shredding their letters isn't
that much extra work. I was just wondering if there were enough other benefits
to be worth the dues.

I like the magazine and the occasional newsletter as well.. I have found
useful information in those pages..
There may be times when having the card to show would be useful but
I suppose that depends on where you live.

Is there any advantage to joining AARP if you don't need their insurance?
