Mountain View, Calif., June 14, 2007 -- Vimo Inc., the Web's leading source for affordable health insurance plans, has launched VimoLive™, a revolutionary new service that enables consumers to speak directly to a health insurance agent with one click of a mouse.

"It gives consumers immediate access to service," says Scott Osler, Vimo's Vice President of Sales. "Searching for affordable health insurance traditionally has required people to fill out forms and wait for call backs from agents or insurance companies about whether they can qualify. Many people want to instantly talk to a live human being about what affordable health insurance plans are available and which ones they should sign up for."

VimoLive can instantly connect someone seeking an affordable health plan with a licensed agent that specializes in health insurance in the customer's area. Speaking to a local agent can be critical when shopping for health insurance, because only agents know the ins and outs of the health insurance market in a given area. The Los Angeles Times recently reviewed Vimo in a feature on affordable health insurance plans, and noted that Vimo agents make "good suggestions."

"For instance, one agent raised the possibility of getting a policy through a small-business group plan that he sold, which would eliminate the need for a physical exam," wrote Kathy Kristof, profiling Vimo in the Times' personal finance column on May 20.

With VimoLive, customers can now obtain helpful phone service like this with the click of a mouse. Vimo matches the user with an agent who services the user's area, and rings both the agent's phone and the customer's phone at the same time. Within seconds, the customer is on the phone with an agent who can help locate an affordable health insurance plan that meets his or her needs.

"Our customers are already reporting that VimoLive has made their search for affordable health insurance much, much easier," Osler said.
