How to Switch From AARP

Established in 1958, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is an organization that serves as a contributing entity used to improve the quality of life for millions of American citizens over the age of 50. The AARP has a noble mission to provide people over the age of 50 with a voice that impacts the way the health-care system works for their favor. But not every member is always satisfied with the quality of service the organization provides. For that particular reason, some members opt to switch from AARP and go elsewhere for insurance coverage. AARP membership can be canceled by phone, making the process simplified and expeditious.
