Insurance for the Poor

The working poor need insurance to protect them from unforeseen difficulties that may disrupt their ability to make a living. Combined with other ways of managing risk, the right insurance can keep a low-income family from falling below the poverty line when faced with difficulty. Insurance changes lives for the better, but even the most common forms of insurance are scarce among the poor.
