Answer:

A type of insurance whereby the insurer pays the medical costs of the insured

Explanation:

Health insurance is also known as medical insurance. It is insurance coverage that pays for the insured medical, surgical, and dental expenses. Insurance companies that underwrite health insurance cover (insurer) work with hospitals and health facilities known as providers to facilitate medical care of the insured when the need arises.

The insurer may either reimburse the insured the amounts spent in a health facility or may pay the provider the expenses incurred by the insured. Many employers offer health insurance to employees to attract and retain the best workers.
