Globe Life Health Insurance Says

Global Life’s health insurance pays for medical expenses. It is sometimes used more broadly to include insurance coverage for disability, long-term nursing or custodial care needs. It may be attained through a government-sponsored social insurance program or from private insurance companies. It may be purchased on a group basis or by individual consumers. In each case, the covered groups or individuals pay premiums or taxes to help protect themselves from high or unexpected health care expenses.
