What are there, 300 million plus a few people in the United States now? And the best guess I found is that 10’s of millions have mood disorders to one degree or another. Personally I think that may be an understatement. Tens of millions treated and untreated? 1...

I have a lot of clients, especially ex military, who have their auto, homeowners and sometimes life with USAA. They are a stellar company from a ratings and financial point of view, but with life insurance underwriting they are, well, conservative would be a good way...

I wrote a post some time ago less than nicely titled “Burial Insurance is Stupid”. I make myself laugh I’m so opinionated sometimes, but this article was not one of those laughable moments. I take very seriously those things that treat those seeking...

I know I’ve talked quite a bit lately about those aviation life insurance needs that are hard or expensive to insure through traditional life insurance companies. I just wanted to take a few minutes to clarify that for the majority of private pilots life...

For many families in the economy of the past five years the question has changed from when retirement will come to how long a person can work. Along with that change, the question of what life insurance portfolio structure is most prudent for seniors has changed...

I’m currently working on a life insurance case where the client, a physician, sought and completed treatment 4 years ago for prescription drug abuse. We shopped this last year and got an offer from Banner Life. The case was declined in underwriting because they...

I can hear the whole life insurance guys once again musing about what kind of a nut case would recommend term life insurance during crazy economic times. Well guys, I’m back!! For those over 50 and over 60 life insurance may be the only way to salvage the...

Let’s just call it like it is. In far too many cases those who make the most are also the busiest and the most likely to put off something like a life insurance application. Entirely too much time and energy can be spent and heck, with money in the bank,...

It’s been years since I’ve run head long into an ultra fast CT scan that just simply defies all logic. Ultra fast CT scans are used to stop the heart mid beat so the chambers and arteries can be looked at in detail. It has been touted as the answer to non...

The 70% savings lure in life insurance advertising is probably been so used that it is a brand by itself. Never mind the companies the promote it, who wouldn’t want to save 70% over what they are currently paying for a comparable life insurance product. So, the...

When i see how some life insurance underwriters treat clients with generalized anxiety, often offering standard rate or worse approvals, I wonder if they’re living in the same country as the rest of us. USA could easily stand for the United States of Anxiety...

There is a mistaken belief that people that have really great incomes, like professional athletes, don’t really need life insurance. The assumption is you have a large income you probably have it managed so that your family would be taken care of if you died...

Just when you have everything comfortably figured out some scientist or doctor or study throws a curve ball at you. Cholesterol was something we all finally got. We knew that if our cholesterol was 200 or under and our LDL, HDL and triglycerides were in the...
