Anyone drop AARP rip-off drug supplement plan?

Two months with AARP was all I needed to find out what a rip-off it is. They pay less than $2 on a couple of $10 (3-mo. supply) prescriptions and very little on Premarin. I get a generic Premarin at Americapharmacy.com for a fraction of the cost, and two prescriptions at Walmart cost $10 each for 3-mo. I researched Internet and talked to my doctor about generic Premarin. Seems the drug maker has fought long and hard to keep the generic away from Americans. I now order it online and pay all of it myself ($35 from 3-mo supply compared to my cost of $120 with the AARP Sup.). With my AARP premiums and my out of pocket costs for meds, I'd pay nearly $1,100 a year. Droping AARP and paying 100% of my drug cost, I pay only $236 a year. That savings could someday pay for expensive meds should I ever need them. It's a gamble I willingly take. Act now if you want out of AARP, it's the only time of the year they will let you cancel. Research other drug options.
