AARP Colorado

The New 50+, “It’s a Mindset” says ‘we’re better than ever’ and AARP is here to urge active adults to learn more, play more and exceed all expectations

May is mental health awareness month, you may or may not know that 1 in 5 individuals in the U.S. suffers from a mental health condition. Unfortunately many more experience symptoms of conditions such as depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder and don't ever seek help. There is a local nonprofit in Denver working to change the stigma surrounding mental illness, in fact the Colorado Mental Wellness Network (The Network) is comprised of individuals who live with these conditions and use their experiences to help others. www.coloradomentalwellnessnetwork.org

AARP Colorado believes 50 is the beginning of life’s best years.

AARP applauds the withdrawal of the American Health Care Act. It would've been a boon for special interests, not a plan to improve care for Coloradans.

Please call your elected officials and tell them to vote NO on the AHCA.

Few professions are more honorable than teaching. Molding young minds to function well in society and being able to give back is truly a gratifying pursuit. It's the profession that creates nearly all other professions.

Join AARP Colorado for its free Financial Resilience seminar in Denver's Park Hill neighborhood on Tuesday April 25 to discuss how to get the most out of your retirement savings.

If you were to ask a typical Colorado resident how to fix health care in America, you can be sure he or she would not suggest that Washington allow insurance companies to price people out of affordable coverage.

H ow can a 64-year-old making $26,500 a year afford to have his health care premiums jump from $1,700 to $14,600 a year (a whopping 758 percent increase)? He can’t.
