COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Every day people change jobs, finish high school or college, leave the military, or experience any number of things that may leave them without adequate or affordable health insurance. When this occurs, short-term health insurance may be the only solution. eShortTermHealth.com (http://www.eShortTermHealth.com), a subsidiary of Health Quotes, is a user-friendly website that will quickly find the best short-term health insurance plans for clients nationwide.

The need for short-term health insurance is greater than most people realize. Michael Horvat, President of Healthquotes.com, says, "We have all had situations in our lives where we've been caught without permanent health care coverage. Short-term health insurance is the only way to safely bridge these gaps. People without health insurance are at risk both medically and financially."

Short-term plans provide temporary comprehensive medical insurance that closely matches permanent coverage. They also provide protection from catastrophic medical emergency expenses. Short-term policies usually provide a maximum allowance of two million dollars coverage, and as with permanent health insurance plans, there are a number of deductibles to choose from.

eShortTermHealth.com (http://www.eShortTermHealth.com) is a new service provided by Healthquotes.com that exclusively quotes short-term plans. This easy-to-use service instantly displays the three plans that best match the applicant based on information provided. The simple application process requires no medical examination to qualify.
