Employers are the principal source of health insurance in the United States, providing health benefits for more than 155 million people in America1.
Workers look to their employers to provide them and their family members quality healthcare coverage. More than ever, a healthcare plan is a tool to recruit and retain excellent workers. In the past, health insurance was intended to protect against the unforeseen and unaffordable.

Guaranteed issue life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance is a popular benefit with employer sponsored health benefits plans; often because of its guaranteed issue feature and the fact that it has remained very affordable.
