Assurant is a Fortune 500 company and provider of specialized insurance services. It is headquartered at One Chase Manhattan Plaza, New York City, and says it provides health insurance coverage to more than 1 million US policyholders. The firm has been in business since 1892.[2] In 1977 it incorporated as AMEV Holdings, Inc.[3]
Assurant operates four key businesses:

The company also offers health insurance plans to full-time college students. Assurant Health has been repeatedly found to cancel health policies for some customers that have serious medical conditions, and 12 states have criticized the firm for denying claims, with most of the states levying fines against Assurant.[4] [5][6]
