HAP is a Michigan-based, nonprofit health plan that offers health coverage to individuals, companies, and organizations.  HAP has a history that dates back to 1956 when UAW President Walter Reuther looked for an alternative to traditional health insurance for union members.  The search ended when a group of physicians was formed to assist in revolutionizing the way health care is offered and paid for in the country.  The group simply made preventive health care become affordable and accessible to people regardless of their socio-economic status.
