Making My Mark!
THIS IS AWESOME! I am very fortunate to have found A benefit package that me and my 7 kids can use everytime we visit our dentist and recieve a great discount. I mean this is really unbelievable, until you use the discount program yourself you will not be able to really appreciate the savings that occur. Im just posting because once I was included as a member and saved I was thinking "A person can really make a living providing this to uninsured homes"
so I started reserching and called the person that signed me as a member and became an independent business owner (IBO) and now im spreading the news everywhere 24/7.
I have since found that their are more than 100million americans that has either no coverage or just paying to much for healthcare and it's projected to become even more costly.
listen to me! Their are many insurance companies that leave us out in the cold after taking or money claming that we were not well when we signed OR we have to pay an extremly large deductible after paying years of monthly payments to are insurance providers for a service rendered. Don't make sense to pay all that time and still have to pay deductibles when we have companies such as this http://deliveringonthepromise.com/cbgreene that helps you be the one receiving the savings and gains.So I urge you all to check out the savings and if their is something that im missing please let me know...

You call that Health Insurance?
You've got to have it right? But if you do, it doesnt necessarily save the day--that's what they dont tell you. These medical insurance companies do EVERYTHING THEY CAN to not pay. Its basically a war of attrition in order to get payment out of these people... What's sad is that even if you're trying to do the right thing and be covered--your essentially naked in many regards anyway.. You've got to have it right?
