Some programs include mandatory vaccinations and compensation for illness, while others provide flu treatment within broader insurance plans without having separate programs.

Therefore, due the usury involvement in the transaction, in 1236 the Pope Gregory IX condemned this practice in his decretal Naviganti (Roover, 1945, p. 175; See also Kingston, 2011). The commenda contracts were introduced when Pope Gregory IX condemned the sea loans because of usury.
