Antalek & Moore Insurance Agency
The insurance agents at Antalek & Moore want young people to re-think their approach to health insurance. "Some young adults think that health insurance is too expensive to purchase, but they can actually save money by purchasing it. Health insurance acts like a discount program for medical services, so those without insurance pay significantly more for medical services than those with it." Want to learn more? Visit Antalek & Moore in their office at 340 Main St., or call them at (845) 831-4300. |
