     Summary

The health care issue in the United States has exponentially increased the focus on health insurance for individuals not covered by a plan through their employer. While Medicare and Medicaid programs have (at least to some extent) addressed the needs of the retired and working poor, there still remains a large population with no coverage in the United States. Individual Health Insurance contains an up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of one of the most rapidly changing risk management topics. The author is an internationally known expert on the subject and supplemented his knowledge with specialized expertise from several of his colleagues. This book covers the history of the individual marketplace, the role of government health policy, products currently available, regulation, and all aspects of the development and management of this business.
