MultiNational Underwriters Offers Consumers a New Choice in Short Term Medical Insurance with Amigo Short Term Medical Plan

(PRWEB) June 5, 2007 -- The new plan, called "Amigo Short Term Medical Plan (SM)," offers consumers cost-saving features such as the choice of deductible and co-payment. Consumers also have options when purchasing Amigo Medical. They may purchase through their professional health insurance agent, which allows them a personal contact for answers to questions and additional information. Moreover, if consumers are familiar with insurance and time is of the essence, they may purchase online at www.amigomedical.com.

"Finding a quality health insurance plan is sometimes a difficult thing. We called the product Amigo because we felt consumers needed a friend in a health care plan. Amigo is for all Americans and will be available in 46 states by the end of the year," said Rob Williams, AVP of Marketing for MultiNational Underwriters. "As a company, we saw a growing need for this product. Some studies indicate over 46 million Americans under the age of 65 lacked health insurance coverage in 2005. studies point to an increase of almost 46.6 million uninsured Americans in 2005. That is an increase of almost 7 million fellow Americans since 2000. I think we all have to make a contribution to help these individuals find a solution to the healthcare crisis in America." The Amigo Short Term Medical Plan (SM) allows consumers to select plan options based on what they can afford to pay on a monthly basis or all at once. They can select a lower premium by opting for a higher deductible, or a more moderate premium with less risk by selecting a lower deductible. Either way, the choice rests on the consumer.
