Question

Other than AARP, discuss one public interest group, aging service, or professional organization that you believe has or can have the most influence on political decisions related to Long Tern Care? Why do you believe this?

Answer 1

AARP, the nation’s largest organization for older Americans, traces its heritage to the late 1940s when a high-school principal set out to make sure retired teachers had adequate health insurance. About a decade later, the group she founded, the National Retired Teachers Association, expanded its membership and became the American Association of Retired Persons.

Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC).
This organization founded a decade ago, combines conservative political advocacy with a more robust benefits catalog than other groups, appealing to politically involved seniors who also want AARP-like discounts. In 2014, AMAC, then boasting 1.1 million members boosted its membership by “hundreds of thousands” by merging with a like-minded group, Generation America.

AMAC is now the leading conservative alternative to the AARP, providing insurance benefits (including Medicare Supplement, Major Medical), travel discounts and A VOICE THAT TRULY SPEAKS FOR YOU (Elders). More and more Americans are realizing that the AARP does not represent their values while AMAC does.

The befits from AMAC includes financial services including AMAC MasterCard, loans and advice; medical insurance; home, life, health and auto insurance; real estate services; roadside assistance; discounted dental and eyesight; reduced prescription costs; discounts on hotel bookings and car rental; retail savings including Office Depot, .
