The AARP supplement for the best option for me was close to $400/month over and above Medicare. AARP uses United Health Care, rated crappy and accepted by fewer doctors then Blue Shield, MVP, CDPHP or whatever is in the Rochester area.

If it says AARP on whatever appears in the mailbox, it makes it to the recycle bin. I joined at age 55 - paid for 3 years only for hotel and rental car reservations. I'm well past 55 now, never paid another penny and still get their garbage lib magazine and supplement which are never read.
OK Dave.I'll look into Northeast Blue Shield Senior Blue.I'm in the middle of having to prove my employment with GM Chevy Tonn,NY.First for pension benefits and then for health care coverage.I got to paid a fee to Social Security to do a search in their archives and then send a copy of that to GM's carrier.Well it shouldn't be a problem.Damm it I worked there.Not like the pension from BAX.Brinks owns them now and they send me a notice that I had a pension coming and how much.
