Continental Life: Fighting to Keep Coverage for Seniors
The main focus of Continental Life is to provide seniors with what they need to live as healthy and comfortably as possible. While there is a budgetary crisis going on in America, Continental Life wants to make sure that seniors still get the benefits they deserve. In July 2011, Continental Life representatives 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.
