that I can look for new plans ahead of the open enrollment of Oct 15...

So I clicked on the link for AARP united healthcare, and I put in the specific information to get a specific quote and it gave me a price of $131 for my wife for plan G. This was $20 less than what our renewal with Anthem was going to be so I was curious.

One was age pricing and one was community pricing, so they are different.

So I then went to Costco and used their link to get prices as they associate with ehealth I think it is called and the price was $144, not $131 for the exact same coverage with AARP/United Healthcare, so I called them and they confirmed for me that the higher price was accurate.

I am not surprised that United Healthcare was doing a bait and switch of sorts. I am surprised AARP puts up with it.
