I just received the government's Medicare and You handbook for 2012. Since this is the first year I will be required to choose a health plan from the offered plans I was looking forward to seeing the details of the AARP sponsored plan offered through United Health Care. I was very disappointed to see that AARP has chosen to associate itself with a plan that receives only a 3 star rating from participating users. I would have expected better from our organization. Or is this a case where they provide the best payback for AARP? |
