insurers

Insurers are companies that provide financial protection against specified losses, damages, illness, or death in exchange for premium payments, primarily by underwriting and paying out claims on policies like life, health, and property insurance.

Why it’s in the news: They are in the news due to disputes over claim denials, regulatory probes into zero-payout practices, and conflicts with policyholders over medical interpretations and customer service.
