Fos, perhaps you should sign onto Medicare.gov and elect to only get

 These mailings don't come from medicare.  Sentara and Humana in my case.
 

Based on my 74yo husband, nope.  Constant along with AARP which has
NOTHING a military retiree doesn't already have for free.

There you go again.  While I agree AARP is useless, your military
retirement benefits via TriCare are irrelevant to most people here.

 Jill, think about it.  Not everyone can trim every post for what only
pertains to everyone.  Medicare itself only pertains to USA RFC folks.

I don't have to think about it.  AARP has been hounding me since I was 50.  They don't even know my name.  I get things in the mail from them addressed to Jill Y. McQuown.  What's the Y stand for?  I don't have a middle name.  They don't even know my name.  The bought it off some incorrect mailing list.  AARP offers absolutely no benefits but they want me to pay them money to join.

AARP might be a decent deal for those who are non-militare retirees.
Meantime, they waste a lot of money by not filtering candidates which
results in a small rise in their fees for those who do use it.

A deal for what?  A Medicare supplement?  Which I'm not yet eligble for, BTW.  That's after I pay them for an annual subscription to a magazine which gives me coupons to go out to dinner, for travel, hotel stays. In places nowhere near where I live.  I don't go out to diner.  I don't travel.  No need to stay in a hotel.  But they expect me to pay them for a membership.  NOPE.  AARP is useless.
