Insurance Quizzes & Trivia

There are several types of insurance organizations and arrangements that provide insurance coverage. Not all of them are corporations (or companies) that are in business to make a profit, but most of them are. The various categories of insurers represent the different ways they raise the money necessary to begin a business and enroll their prospects for insurance. Although you need to understand the nature and structure of for-profit insurance companies, you should also know that there are other markets and providers of insurance, including non-incorporated private organizations and the federal and state governments.
