Life and health insurance can help consumers with their plans for the future. Life insurance insures against one risk, the risk of death, and health insurance insures against many risks that could impact a person's health or quality of life. This course provides a broad survey of the key aspects of life and health insurance, including the many varied types of policies, their provisions, their uses and the needs they serve. Rather than an in-depth examination of these elements, this course offers the necessary overview for further understanding of the wide-ranging life and health arena.
