Like almost everybody else who saw them, the images of flooded homes and in Houston after Hurricane Harvey is probably indelibly imprinted in your mind. If those images did anything at all, it was to remind us that water is capable of doing some very serious damage!
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) cites water damage from floods as one of the most common and costly hazards in the U.S. Statistics by the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) indicate that in the course of a 30-year old mortgage period there is a 1 in 4 chance of damage caused by water in high-risk areas. Unfortunately, many home and business owners suffer those losses because flood damage is not covered by typical insurance, and they never bother to get federal flood insurance.

History of Healthcare
Healthcare in the USA dates back to the late 1800s when industrial revolution gave birth to steel mill jobs that involved a number of injuries and death for various reasons. With this revolution occurred the growth of unions that worked on the creation of sickness and injury protection rights for their workforce.
Later, with the turn of the century came organized medicine that triggered the growth of organizations like American Association of Labor Legislation (AALL) that played an important role in healthcare. Through the 1900s, several US presidents took healthcare legislation under their wings, resulting in the passing of several acts, including War Risk Insurance Act (1914), Social Security Act (1935), Health Maintenance Organization Act (1973), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (1996), and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (1997).
