AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) provides members aged 50 and over the ability to purchase health insurance options along with other products and services. This nonprofit, nonpartisan membership group is the nation's largest social welfare association that helps older Americans improve their quality of life.
AARP is a nonprofit membership organization focused on helping people age 50 and older improve their quality of life. The organization was founded in 1958 and has offices in all 50 states. AARP offers several health care options and related products, services and insurance programs. AARP, however, is not the insurer; it merely contracts with the insurer who will use AARP’s trademark and thereby make the coverage available to AARP members.
"AARP is at the forefront of one of the transformational issues of our time --- the aging of America. We must harness the experience, knowledge and resources of AARP to lead in addressing this issue, especially pertaining to health care and financial security and other quality-of-life issues." A. Barry Rand, AARP's CEO, June 2009
AARP is a membership organization for people older than 50. The organization lobbies for seniors and negotiates rates with insurance companies to offer members discounts and groups benefits. AARP is not an insurance company but recommends various plans to its members. AARP represents its members in Washington and at insurance-industry events to impact health care policy and to find additional health care benefits for its members.
The Divided We Fail campaign from AARP addresses health care and financial security specifically for the vast number of baby boomers who are approaching retirement.
