As Washington National planned for the future, two business areas (later combined in 1993) were targeted to carry the company forward: individual health care and group employee benefits.

Much of the company's success in this volatile arena depended on its ability to respond to whatever legislative changes the country's health care industry underwent, the extent and manner of which remained undetermined as Washington National entered the mid-1990s.
