$12 a month! 70% lower life insurance rates! Just pennies a day! Between the internet and tv there can’t possibly be a person left that doesn’t know that somehow, somewhere people might qualify for really cheap insurance. But how do you know when...

There are some things, things medical, mental and lifestyle, that some insurance companies may never let go of. 15 or 20 years after the fact it is entirely possible that there are companies that will unflinchingly say no thanks to your life insurance business even...

Turning a declined life insurance application into an approval is usually not that hard. It’s how I make a living. But I have to admit that turning a decline from Allstate into a preferred plus approval through one of my companies is kind of like laying down a...

Being in the impaired risk end of the life insurance business, and specializing in helping people who aren’t having any fun with their life insurance experience, almost everyone who calls or emails me has on thing in common. The have unfortunately allowed the...

I am more amazed every day at the huge misconception there seems to be in our country about the face of bipolar disorder and what it most certainly means when it comes to trying to be approved for life insurance. To give you a sense where most life insurance companies...

Over the last seven years I have only taken, I think, maybe three opportunities in this forum to spout off on a subject not necessarily related to life insurance, life insurance underwriting or impaired risk life insurance. The election is tomorrow and without knowing...

Drop the word insurance out of there and reality is that with success in life comes challenges that even the most on the ball folks aren’t ready for. How a person deals with those challenges can affect how they are perceived when they apply for life insurance....

Life insurance company reconsiderations are thrown about the industry like the success of them is common place and they are for all intents and purposes, a shoe in. The kind of reconsideration I’m talking about is when a smoker becomes a non smoker, someone with...

So, what happens if the approved life insurance application isn’t at the same rate you were quoted? This happens a lot when you use agents that don’t shop cases before they choose the right company. Less frequently it happens when new information comes up...
