It was horrible to not be able to change my billing address. And over all at the end when it charges you the premium without it previously stating is also horrible

Easy and Clear application and coverage

The website made filling out the application very easy. The terms of coverage were clear, and the cost was at the right price point for me.

Paying two payments in one month it's hard for someone at poverty level trying to do the right thing.

I am at poverty level and it is hard for me to make the original payment and the other premium payment in the same month to sign up... Because of this my cats and I will be lacking until next month.
