Dividends are paid only by mutual insurance companies, not by stock insurance companies. All insurance companies are required by the state regulatory authorities where they do business to maintain statutory reserves to ensure that there is sufficient money on hand to pay expected losses. Therefore, dividends cannot be paid from reserves. Instead, they are generally paid by earnings on the investments made by the mutual insurer.

How do I find Hill Country Cancer Insurance company?

There exists a Hill County Insurance Agency in Wimberly, TX. From its website, it appears to sell health insurance of various sorts and to design health insurance plans. This is what you may be looking for. An insurance agency is not the same as an insurance company. This is a source of confusion for many people. An insurance agenct might best be thought of as a "retailer" of insurance policies--that is, it sells policies, issued by insurance companies, to members of the public. In contrast, an insurance company is the entity that issues the policy and bears the risk of financial loss if there is a loss that is covered under the policy.
