Today, eight out of ten families
have 6ome kind of hospital, surgical
or medical Insurance. But the need
tot this type of protection is greater
than ever. Hospital costs have been
going up nearly 1 each month
since 1950. If your present policy is
two years old or older, and was
adequate when you bought it, the
chances are good that you need more
coverage right now.
t With over 900 companies writing
individual accident and health insur
ance, how can you choose the com
pany that's best for you? Experts say
the best way is to ask: What is the
company's record for paying claims?

ures published in the Argus Charts

Underwriter Company:
Of the top 40 compiniei writing
individual accident and health
insurance, American Republic In
surance Company of Des Moines,
Iowa, ranks FIRST in percent of
premium dollars paid to policy
holders in claim benefits.
American Republic policyholders
also enjoy the important benefits of
TAILORED Protection. This fea
ture makes it possible for qualified
people OF ALL AGES to have up-
to-date health insurance protection

coverage they may not want or need.

zation insurance, American Republic
TAILORED Protection can start
where your present coverage leaves
off. And it pays fully stated benefits
in addition to any amounts you may
collect from" any other health insur
ance policy you may now have.
