Policyholder Questions Answered • by
the Health Insurance Institute 277
Path Ave.,NY, N.Y., 10017
Q. After many years of being
In business for myself, I have ac
cepted a job with a large firm. It
starts in about six months, giving
me time to sell my business and
to get my other business affairs
in order. When I start the job, I
will be under the firm’s group
health insurance program. I’m
not sure that members of my
family will be covered, however.
If they aren’t, is there some kind
of policy that covers everybody
in a family except the father?
A. In all probability, the
group plan at your new place of
work includes family members. A
Health Insurance Institute survey
last year of 3,000 group health
insurance plans showed that 99
per cent of the employees in
volved had their dependents pro
tected as well. In other words, it

Is a rare group health insurance
plan that does not cover the em
ployee’s family.
On the off-chance that your
group health program doesn’t
cover your dependents, a family
health insurance plan can do the
job. Some savings in premium
can be achieved by excluding the
breadwinner.
Q. I am just completing a term
paper for my economics class on
the insurance business in the
United States. Can you please
give me the most up-to-date fig
rues on how many people are
protected by health insurance and
now much money in benefits is
distributed each year?
A. Over 163 million Ameri
cans were protected by some
form of private health insurance
as 1968 began, according to esti
mates of the Health Insurance
Institute. This figure represents a
gain of about five million people
uring the past year. Benefits for
1967 meanwhile, have been esti
mated at $ll billion paid by in
suring organizations. The bene
fit gain in a year’s time was $B4O
million.

Last Year Hogmen Started
Over 9 Million Pigs on Purina...
WHY?
Results... that's the best answer we know. Folks every 4
where, and folks especially around here are finding out
that pigs start, grow and finish fast on Purina. Hogmen
know they can depend on Purina Research to keep new
and approved formulas coming. And from feeding experi
ence they know that Purina's Hog Program pays off in the
feedlot with fast growth and low-cost gains.
Join the trend to Purina. We’ll be glad to help you keep
records so you can see for yourself why hogmen in the
U.S.A. started over 9 million pigs on Purina last year. Pigs
love Purina Baby Pig Chow, Early Weaning Chow and
Purina Pig Startena. Feed put your next bunch of pigs
the Purina way..
