AARP Provides a Service but Is No Advocate

AARP could help its membership by using the tremendous leverage it has with the various vendors it throws its name behind. By insisting on better terms, it could effectively provide better products and services for AARP members ("Sure It's From AARP, but Is It a Good Deal?" Personal Business, Feb. 25). Yet the organization fails to do this, even though it leads its members to believe they are getting added value from the products and services endorsed by the organization.
