Conclusion
I need insurance coverage starting with the health insurance cover. Additionally, the life insurance cover is necessary since I will have to take care of my beneficiaries in the event of the unforeseen future. In the event I have to choice between these two insurance companies, I would settle for American Family. This is in spite of the best ratings that are given to USAA insurance company. This is because American Family is striving to compete with other major insurance companies, therefore, offers the best customer service in the market. In fact, it is known to settle the highest number of insurance cases than any other insurance company (Plunkett 23).
