WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY…
“As a start up company, We are not in a position to incorporate a comprehensive health care plan. In the short
time that we have had the health care card It has already proved its value.Two weeks after applying for my card I
had a dental emergency. We located a dental provider near our offices. The tooth capped and another one filled.
My card saved me $ 200.”
WE Stone, Fresno CA
“I’ve never been so excited in my life.I recently had refractive surgery on both my eyes. My doctors original quote
was $3700, I showed my HealthCare card and saved $ 740.”
MT Hibbard, Long Beach,CA
“ I was skeptical when my mother purchased your Healthcare Card . Her required 7 prescriptions, include
Glucophage, Avandia, and Fosamax, at a cost of over $350. A month. Now she pays $ 243, a savings of $ 107 a
month. This program is amazing ”

saved $ 780 when she found that her Orthodontist was on the program.” John Maxwell, Reno, Nv
WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY… continued
“ Several months ago I applied for your Healthcare Card with some skepticism, since many of the
offers of savings advertised today rarely work out for the buyers. However, I am now convinced of its
incredible value after only having the card for a couple of months. Within the last few weeks, I have
actually saved $ 140, and that was using just one of my many benefits. I saved $ 80 on contact
lenses for my daughter and $ 60 on eyeglasses for myself. I am amazed at the true value your card
offers and will now be offering your card to my entire staff,”
Paul Edwards, Banning,CA
“ Since my wife's Chiropractor participates, she doesn’t have to change doctors and saves $ 50 a
month on her treatments.”
Dan Raples, Palos Verdes Estates, CA
“ A quick note to let you know how pleased I am with the Healthcare Vision Plan. We saved a total of
$ 338 on lenses, frames and eye exams. The best part of the money savings, but not to be
overlooked was the fact that we were treated pleasantly and our business was appreciated.We look
forward to using you plan and the other benefits again.”
Jim Spenser, Tucson, AZ
“ I picked out some new flexible frames with progressive bifocals and scratch resistance. My total
came to $ 424. When I showed my Healthcare Card, the price was refigured and for the same
glasses I paid $ 219….A $ 205 SAVINGS. …Nice benefits,,,,” Norma Maxwell, Glendale, CA
