If you are going to use this lesson I suggest the students have a good background of what insurance is and the different types before beginning with this. It has good information, but difficult to use.
This lesson has lots of links to other websites, but not all of them will link you directly to what it is they want you to read. I found many of my students off task trying to locate or find what they needed to read because of that. The reading itself is also higher level. It may be best to print off several of the articles and group students to read and discuss then share with the class.
