finance structure, such as a monthly premium or payroll tax, to ensure
that money is available to pay for the health care benefits specified in
the insurance agreement. The benefit is administered by a central
organization such as a government agency, private business, or
not-for-profit entity. According to the Health Insurance Association of
America,
health insurance is defined as "coverage that provides for the payments
of benefits as a result of sickness or injury. It includes insurance
for losses from accident, medical expense, disability, or accidental
death and dismemberment" .
