With the market so volatile this year, you might need a little insurance. Investors looking for their safe place can't get much return from of a money market account, but there are healthcare insurers that provide safe, solid dividends.
Insurance companies' business models are built around avoiding and protecting against risk, which makes them an excellent choice for anyone who is looking for a little stability along with a little income.
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH), Humana (NYSE: HUM), and Anthem (NYSE: ANTM) are three of the largest healthcare insurers, and they all provide a decent dividend and long-term growth prospects.
