Q: I retired as a safety instructor in Florida at the end of 2005 and my health care is covered by Medicare but my wife is 62 years old will not be covered for 2 1/2 years. She is healthy now but I worry that something may happen in the future before Medicare kicks in for her. What is available in the meanwhile?

A: The new "Secure 12 x 3" short term medical insurance is perfect for your situation. This insurance covers all ordinary and necessary medical expenses, except pre-existing medical conditions, with any doctor or hospital of your choice. The coverage can be renewed for up to 36 months, so there will be no gap in coverage for her. (It is actually a 12 month policy that can be automatically renewed after the first 12 month policy expires for two more times regardless of your medical history or claims). Best of all this insurance is easy to obtain and costs much less than traditional long term health insurance. Use the "Fast Quote" link at FreedodmBenefits.net and look for the "Secure 12 x 3"" link.
