Aarp Fall From Grace

Great Post Ronnie! Sounds like you need one of my TShirts:

Thank God Jesus Loves Me......
.... Cause Liberals Think I'm a Jerk!

THANKS, fellows... I'm proud to join the ranks of those who've earned a spot on Al's dartboard.

For the record, I recently added Medicare supplements, advantages and PDP's to my quiver of arrows, and in my first year sold about 30-40 of them so far... and one (1) oldster was supportive of the current regime.

The UnitedHealthcare advantage plans were more expensive than some of my other carriers, so I didn't present them except for one situation (disabled fellow age 58) where they were competitive. Their advantage plans are not available in my county or surrounding, so I only marketed their PDP's. Several seniors refused to enroll when they saw the AARP logo on the paperwork and I wrote them with a different carrier. Little different attitude here in the south than in CA, I reckon!

After 4 posts here... you now da man!

You reckon?

Hmmm. Did you kill yourself a 'bar' when you were only three?

Sigh. Another agent who couldn't get through junior college.

Well, as Winter always says... "You can't fix stupid." I reckon he's right!

AARP membership is $16/yr per household. You can non renew membership after approval of the AARP/UHC med supp without it affecting your policy.

per month?

Yep. Each and every month.

79 year old female. Was paying $310 monthly through her beloved AARP. Sold her Gerber at $159.

She was so skeptical that I had to call AARP on speaker phone to have them explain it to her. Once they were done explaining it she was MAD. And she will tell anyone she talks to that she was getting ripped off for years.

Plan F, age 79 female, $159/mo.
Wow!
What zip?

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program of AL3 against the entire forum....

Wow another ad hominem attack. Typical liberal retort. (In case you don't know, Al, that's Latin for "against the man.") In English, it's what libs always resort to when they run out of logical arguments.

I'm still waiting for an apology for your false and incorrect statement about conservatives wanting to end M/C and SS. Only people I know who think like that are ultra-libertarians, and the current bunch in DC are driving more and more folks into that direction.

To answer your question, no, I don't kill bars. In fact, haven't been near one since a few years after college. Oops, another error, never been to "junior college." Don't equate Southern dialect with ignorance. Our state isn't toying with the idea of bankruptcy and we're not panicking because the mood in Washington is not conducive to getting federal bailouts right now. Jerry Brown? Give me a break!

Have a nice day, brother.

Here in FL UHC (AARP) med supp is the best priced so I still offer them. And to be honest I think I had maybe 2 people all of last year that wouldn't deal with AARP. So I wrote them a more expensive plan.

I don't ever bash AARP or side with them. If a client says, I don't care for AARP I just tell them I understand and move on. Doesn't effect me.

That's exactly how I do it. Stay neutral and just see what the client thinks of them. Only difference is around here they are not priced good at all so many people who have trusted them get angry at them once you teach them how it actually works.

In Upstate NY which is a world unto itself (GI all the time with continuous open enrollment) AARP has the market cornered with the lowest rate (sometimes by $100/month) and with no underwriting there is no reason anyone wouldn't qualify for it. New York is crazy.

Don't they do that thing for the first 10-years though where they have a prorated price increase each year for the 1st 10-years?

They promote it as a discount that is gradually taken away each year but in reality it is just a schedueled rate increase which gets bigger each year. They do around here.

When you explain to people that if their health goes bad they can't easily switch companies and they want to look for one that is the most likely to hold their rates down the longest, and AARP has this gimmick built in give them all pretty large extra increases over the first 10-years...not real attractive.
