AARP or AMAC ?

[Bassdeer]

Which one should I get? Getting ready to retire and I heard in some cases you get a deal on part C with AARP. would like to get AMAC because of being in more of line my values. Need all the input we can get with this retirement stuff.

I’ve never heard of AMAC but I refuse to give my money to AARP who, in turn, spend it almost exclusively in support of liberal and entitlement programs.

Besides, all you really need of the Medicare programs are Parts A & B. The others don’t appear to justify their expense.

AMAC is what AARP use to be for everyone and now conservatives are moving over to AMAC and away from supporting AARP's woke agendas.

Good to know.

I’d talk to a broker who specializes in retirement supplement plans. Medicare A is ‘free’, for B you pay the gov monthly from your SS.

We have a B supplement plan from Aetna and a no-monthly-cost D supplement from Wellcare for prescriptions. Wellcare has a high deducible for the higher cost meds (Costco Pharmacy gives a great member discount) , but for others I don’t pay anything.

The broker we talked to said that made the most sense for prescriptions- what you really need is if God forgive you get cancer, that chemo medications are covered. I have no idea why Wellcare is free.

Neither

Glad to hear it. I have no intention of giving my money to AARP. I’m happy to hear there is an alternative

AMAC came out about 15 years ago intentionally as a conservative alternative to AARP.

Neither. I should qualify my thought on this just a bit. Some people feel that they must be a member of a labor union in order to work. I never felt that way because I didn't want to limit my potential. In retrospect, I made the right decision. I also don't see the need to join some organization to get a few discounts here and there. I love to negotiate so I ask for senior citizens discounts often and usually get them. Don't for a minute think that there is any kind of deal on part C. Use one of the services that can look at what is available to you in your county. Part C is often a mixture of benefits, some of which you don't need but will be paying for anyway. I found it advantageous to buy D, G, and dental seperately. It takes a little homework, but not really all that much. Again, use one of the services to calculate your least cost alternative. Lastly, AARP has typically supported the left politically.

Me and the wife are both retired and have neither. May look @ AMAC just because I never heard of it. AARP is left leaning like other said.

[Bill M]

I joined AMAC for a year but saw no benefit to it so quit. I too ask for senior discounts and can get them.

[Mertz09]

AMAC. 100%. AARP are libtards. They support Obama-care

[dgilbert]

Neither put the money in a supplement. Do not do an advantage not worth it.
