Interesting Comments on AARP. I've my car insurance with Hartford Insur. thru their auspices. I can honestly say that I get an excellant rate-And I do occasionally check with other companys to compare rates.

A few years ago I was made aware of a kind of walker for disabled people, it is a bit fancy with wheels & a seat. It was mentioned in a column in the local paper that this excellant item sells for around $360. & is affordable to alot of seniors who can't afford the "Rascal" type. The columnist mentioned that AARP would not run ads for this "Rollator" (I believe this is the corrct name-if need be I can check my files) because the Rascal Co. paid a heavy fee for advertising. The Rollator is American made, in small family owned factory. I spoke with the owner & he confirmed AARP's refusal. I ordered one of these items for a nearby Veterans Hosp. in honor of my husband. It is a fine aide for the handicapped. I wrote a letter to Morris Deets, Then head of AARP asking him to please rethink his position on advertizing it. Got no answer. That told me where AARP's heart & concern are.
