Magazine today announced that HealthCare.com has been recognized in the publication’s annual Inc. 5000 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The company takes home #2 in the insurance category and stands at #148 overall, once again placing it in this year’s smaller and more elusive cohort in the Inc. 500.
