    The source code of your last link reads like ths:
    <A href=”http://www.getmyhealthinsurance.org”>get my health insurance</a>
    HTML:
    where as the other links read like this
    <a href="http://www.mb01.com/lnk.asp?o=3190&amp;c=918273&amp;a=60566">Cobra Health</a>
    HTML:
    For some reason your HTML editor is replacing the <> symbols in your code with &lt; &gt; .
    It shouldn't be a problem but try uncapitalizing the A.

    Do you have a wysiwyg editor? Looks like you accidentally put the last link info in the wysiwyg area instead of the code area, this is a common mistake with programs like Dreamweaver and the like. Open notepad, or your editor and make sure you are in the code area and change the information as listed above by gamingtimenow. instead of the &(information) it will be the characters like the < and the " Hope we helped....

    your code should be like this:

    <a href="http://www.getmyhealthinsurance.org/">Get My Health Insurance</a>.
