AARP, or, as they like to call themselves, the "American Association of Retired People Persons,"[1] is a US lobbying group that helped write the Medicare part D program a few years back. The one that leaves a huge hole for seniors to struggle through (called the "Donut Hole") that they conveniently have licensed their name to insurance companies to cover. They recruit new members as soon as they reach 50. They are sometimes accused of betraying their members when they don't lobby in their best interest.[2]
AARP arranges discounts with rental cars, hotels and motels for their members. They also have an arrangement with the Amoco motor club for roadside assistance memberships. Additionally, they offer car insurance and Medicare gap insurance programs.
