History of insurance refers to the development of a modern business in insurance against risks, especially regarding ships, cargo, and buildings ("property" and "fire"), death ("life" insurance), automobile accidents ("auto"), and the cost of medical treatment (health insurance). The industry has been profitable and has provided attractive employment opportunities for white collar workers. It helps eliminate risks (as when fire insurance companies demand safe practices and the availability of fire stations and hydrants), spreads risks from the individual or single company to the larger community, and provides an important source of long-term finance for both the public and private sectors.Sunday 24 July 2011
