About Freedom Health Insurance

Although Medicare provides health care coverage for senior citizens, it does not cover all the costs associated with treatments, procedures or other forms of medical care. Private companies, such as Freedom Health, provide supplemental insurance plans to address those gaps in Medicare coverage.
