Trustmark (benefits company)
Trustmark is an employee benefits company. According to Crain's Chicago Business magazine, Trustmark ranks #69 among Chicago's Largest Privately Held Companies in 2018. History 
Trustmark was founded in 1913 as the Brotherhood of All Railway Employees, and later in 1917 adopted the name Benefit Association of Railway Employees. In 1963 the company became Benefit Trust Life Insurance Company. Only in 1994 was the name "Trustmark Insurance Company" adopted, upon merger with Bankers Mutual Life of Freeport. By 1998 Trustmark had assets of 1.8 billion dollars. In 2010 the company purchased Health Fitness Corporation of Bloomington, Minnesota to expand their offerings into consumer health programs that encourage workers to stay fit and healthy. In 2012 United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius ordered the company to rescind its rate hike increases under powers granted by the Affordable Care Act; describing them as "excessive rate increases that would raise rates at least thirteen percent for customers in Alabama, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wyoming". This was the second time in the history of the United States that this power was used since the act was passed in 2010. Kevin Slawin becomes President and CEO of Trustmark in 2018. David D. Weick has served as Chairman of the Board since 2015. Subsidiaries
