Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Final approach to Medicare – age 64

<snip>
AARP UHC seems least likely to end up with a catastrophic result. i.e. no dead-pooling; no death spiral; broadest pool ... and the heft and backing of AARP if something unforeseen should go really wrong at some point in any part of the Medicare health-and-insurance system. In other words, there really does seem to be safety in numbers in this case.

It may well be the best choice for you, but I see gross over-estimation of "AARP" backing. UHC is simply paying royalty to AARP to use its logo for marketing. There is ZERO "backing" for UHC liabilities from AARP. UHC (still) has very strong credit rating, though it was recently downgraded by multiple credit rating agencies.
