economy plays a large part in determining the types of programs the government makes mandatory, in order to help and protect U.S. citizens in times of need, for example, COBRA.

Group life insurance often includes a provision for a member exiting the group to buy individual coverage. | Group life insurance plans | Aaron Jones | 5/19/2012 7:08:48 AM |
