Self-reliance… planning ahead… using our heads. These are just a few of the things we believe in here at The Reason Roundtable. That’s why we’d like to tell you about AirMedCare Network (AMCN) membership and how it can take a financial worry off your plate. AirMedCare Network is America’s largest emergency air ambulance membership network. AirMedCare Network providers operate state-of-the-art helicopters, and their specially-trained medical personnel provide the highest level of pre-hospital medical care in emergency situations. Even with insurance, these flights can be VERY expensive. But when you’re an AirMedCare Network member, you won’t see a bill for your flight only when flown by one of their providers. This is a financial safety net you should have. Membership is amazingly affordable: only $99 per year and just $79 for seniors. And your entire household is covered. Right now, our listeners get up to an $80 Mastercard or Amazon e-gift card when they join AMCN and use offer code: REASON. Simply visit AirMedCareNetwork.com/reason today.
