Drug prices are out of control. No big secret there. With so many options out there for any given health condition, a wrong choice can end up being an enormously expensive test. Health insurance companies would be glad to know that if a drug didn’t work, the...

Heart disease is no longer the number one cause of death for Americans under the age of 85. Dramatic decreases in the death rate per 100,000 have been cut almost in half for both men and women in a study that spanned 1980 to 2000. This bumped cancer up to the number...

I recently worked with a client who, seven years after his radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, once again had a detectable and rising PSA. This news was discovered from the lab results on an insurance exam. While his PSA wasn’t high, in the absence of a...

How often have I said it’s all about mortality? That is the bottom line for life insurance underwriters. The better the survivability of any health issue, the better the underwriting and subsequent life insurance rates. A recent Washington Post article provided...

If people didn’t die, or if people knew at birth exactly when they would die, the need for life insurance would certainly be looked at differently. The truth is that we all know we will die and unless I am mistaken, mortality tables would show that approximately...

In a post on March 4 of this year, Children’s life insurance. Keep it in perspective!” I broached the sensitive subject of life insurance for your children. Most parents would rather just turn their back on the whole subject. How morbid a thought? Quite...

Skin cancer is probably one of the most common forms of cancer, especially here in the sunny southwest and growing up in the Rocky mountains as I did with very little between us and the sun’s UV rays. Sunscreen didn’t show up on the scene until I was in my...

While the word cancer mostly causes distress to the average life insurance agent, many independent agents are well educated and connected to help survivors of breast cancer and many other types of cancer find affordable life insurance. The key for you as a consumer...

The thought of a life insurance agent, for many, conjures up a picture of someone showing up at the house and sitting in the living room with you and very often using a flip chart type of graphic to drive home the point about why you need exactly what he came there to...

The very thought of trying to find life insurance for someone who has had prostate cancer would send 98% of life insurance agents screaming into the dark. Most would just tell you, without asking any questions, that you are uninsurable. About 80% of prostate cancer...

You ever wonder why life insurance companies are so tentative, so cautious when underwriting cancer cases? Ever wonder why doctors are so cautious about offering a prognosis on cancer? With as much research and study that has gone into cancer and treatment you would...

Life insurance giant AIG, American General led the way for years in offering the best deals for private pilots looking for life insurance. They took over the market and dominated for several years……and then they bailed. From my perspective it looked like...

I really think they are probably faking the shock and amazement when they find out they don’t get those life insurance rates advertised everywhere, because those are non smoking rates and they smoke. Surely they’ve slipped up at least once and read the old...

Another overly diligent life insurance shopper shot themselves in the foot today. Remember, three things can happen while you are looking for the best possible rate. One of them is good and I’ve seen people even turn that one against themselves. 1. The good one....

Somewhere in the education system for financial planners, the curriculum missed one little detail. People die unexpectedly! Estate planning attorney’s missed that class also. For all the good that can come from the advice of either profession, none of the advice...
