United American Insurance Company (UA), based in McKinney, Texas, provides supplemental life, health, and accident coverage. UA was founded in 1947. Today, UA operates in 49 states, the District of Columbia, and has approximately 1,000 people working in the Home Office. UA New York, our individual insurance business, is conducted through United American's subsidiary, First United American Life Insurance Company. An independent Agent system is employed to deliver life and Medicare supplement coverages to customers living in this state. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Torchmark Corporation (NYSE: TMK), based in McKinney, Texas. ==History== United American had one employee when it began in 1947 – C.L. Dunlap, Founder and President. During the first year of operation, two more people came on board – W.H. Coleman Jr., a CPA, and Kay Holt, their secretary. Later, they were joined by J.A. Graham, then R.B. Donovan in 1951. This team of leaders charted a course of step-by-step development and expansion. In 1955, United American moved into The Insurance Center, located in downtown Dallas. When Medicare was signed into law in 1966, the company made the decision to focus its attention on the individual health market with an emphasis on Seniors. In 1976, the company began searching for a new home office to accommodate its 400 employees. Within a year, staff started transitioning into the East Building in Dallas. In 1981, United American became a member of Torchmark Corporation, a financial services holding company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Now with 500 employees, United American realized space for future growth was essential, so in 1996, the company moved 30 miles north of Dallas to McKinney. Ten years later, Torchmark announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters from Birmingham, Alabama to McKinney. United American is one of the largest nationwide underwriters of individual Medicare Supplement insurance.〔NAIC Medicare Supplement Loss Ratios, 2010 Medicare Supplement Insurance Experience Reports, June 2011〕 For more than 35 consecutive years, United American has earned the A+ (Superior) Financial Strength Rating from A.M.
