NET PREMIUMS WRITTEN, PROPERTY/CASUALTY AND LIFE/HEALTH
There are three main insurance sectors. Property/casualty consists mainly of auto, home and commercial insurance. Life/health consists mainly of life insurance and annuity products. The third sector, health insurance, is offered by private health insurance companies, as well as by some life/health and property/casualty insurers. The government’s large-scale participation in providing health care through Medicaid and Medicare makes it difficult to compare the health care sector with the life/health and property/casualty sectors, which are mostly private.
