American Continental: Fighting for the Rights of Seniors
American Continental works hard to provide seniors with insurance that will guarantee them a comfortable lifestyle. While there is a budgetary crisis going on in America, American Continental fights to make sure seniors are still receiving the benefits they deserve. In July 2011, American Continental stood up to the government for seniors' rights by speaking to congress through the Coalition to Promote Choices for Seniors, emphasizing how important it was for the government not to cut coverage for any Medicare beneficiaries.
