AARP mail goes straight into the vertical filing cabinet, never to be seen again.

It IS an insurance company. Check into what they lobbied for in the health care bru-haha.
I don't want to offend anyone here with my politics anymore so... I'll just leave it at that.

BTW, if you get a USA cycling membership, which I did, you can get a preferred rate for your medical insurance. I signed up for that. And no pre-exisiting condition on my part. It was much cheaper than the COBRA. I think, I'm going to be a happy camper. You can also get a family plan. I took a higher annual deductable so my monthly rate is about half the cost of COBRA.

I'm going to be adding dental for $47/yr. also through USA cycling. For what I need, its a pretty good deal.

You can also get a hotel discount with AAA or with USA Cycling membership. Get discounts for prescription glasses, rental cars...

Hope this helps.
