After months of debating just how badly West Coast Life was treating its’ long time term insurance customers I was finally told that I wasn’t able to represent them anymore. That was last year. During those months Greg Zabel, some kind of a vice president...

I had my memory tested today when I had a call from a man from the town I grew up in. He introduced himself as Howard Johnson which didn’t ring a bell and then he threw out a few more names that didn’t ring a bell. Then he mentioned that he used to be the...

I’ve never been a fan of Selectquote. Having worked (a long time ago) in a similar on line agency I know for a fact that with quantity (they claim to do 100,000 applications a year) quality suffers serious damage. The agents, if you can really call them that,...

Does that sound like a desperate person looking for final expense life insurance? Well, the companies hope so, but that is really the stance of the companies wanting to bank the policies of seniors willing to overpay for life insurance. It’s certainly not news...

We are by no means where I would like to see diabetes life insurance underwriting, but compared to 15 years ago, 10 years ago, even 5 years ago, life is good. I’ve talked a lot about adult onset type 1 diabetes life insurance approvals. The obvious thing going...

I suppose if you are a car dealer, car advertisements get under your skin if they don’t tell the truth. I’ve been enormously disappointed over the years in the way mega agency Selectquote advertises term insurance. They are deceptive at best. After an...

I have probably been the epitome of redundancy with my non stop rant about the impact of using the wrong life insurance agent almost always leading to the wrong life insurance company which will almost always lead to the wrong result. It is unfortunately true that all...

The lure, even when we were in better economic times, to make the big bucks tax free overseas has always been huge. Whether it is pulling down big paychecks by working in middle east oil fields or civilian contractors rebuilding infrastructure in areas that are...

A few years ago I shopped for final expense life insurance just to see what was available and being pushed. I knew there was a propensity in the industry to push some really overpriced, under guaranteed products as senior life insurance. I just wanted to experience...

Afghanistan Life Insurance? As you can probably surmise it isn’t cheap, but for civilian contractors the wages aren’t low either. If you will be traveling to Afghanistan, we can provide a free quote for you. It’s quick and easy to get a quote,...

Whenever we talk about breast cancer life insurance the real meat of the discussion revolves around stage and grade. Just like the five year survival rate, life insurance for breast cancer survivors is a far better deal with an early stage and low grade. We know that...

A client of mine called today in response to a blog post I had written about the current state of estate preservation life insurance and exemption laws. After reviewing his situation I concurred with his estate attorney that he should look at acquiring a 2nd to die...

I’ve made no bones about my disdain for the way supposedly reputable life insurance companies treat us seniors. The somehow want us to believe that over 50 life insurance is suddenly different. I’ve been giving some thought to an appropriate analogy that...

I love to golf. There are very few things that carry that same feeling as a well hit drive or sinking a long putt (or for me not missing a short one), but when we can get a case approved at better than standard rates for someone with a history of melanoma, well,...

Let’s face it. Obesity has long had a stigma all its’ own. After all, as the stigma goes, no one held them down and fed them until they were morbidly obese! Lack of self control!! Why don’t they just go on a diet and get off their rears and get some...
