There are many health things in life that just jump up and grab you. You never see it coming and you would have never dreamed of the impact it could have on your life. The question inevitably runs through your mind. What did I do to deserve this? What could I have...

A Simon and Garfunkel song with the line, “my lack of education hasn’t hurt me none”. Well that may be just fine for most life insurance agents, but the fact that it hasn’t “hurt them none” isn’t really the point. How many...

You gotta love technology. Sometimes the medical science types can come up with a test that is so……….so………..all inclusive, that it falls short in the category of providing statistically significant useful information. One such...

I think I’ve mentioned before that there is a real propensity in the life insurance business for agents to be so protective of a potential sale that they will actually tell a customer they are uninsurable, rather than admit they are the wrong agent for the job....

Terminal illness! How many times a day is a person told, or a family told that a person only has months to live? Often this news comes after a stroke that requires extensive medical care in ICU, or after a long battle with cancer. Medical bills pile up and, because...

I swear the medical community could use one extra course before someone is given the license to practice medicine. There is a profound problem in the integrity of the information that is put into medical records. It runs the gamut from casually putting irrelevant...

Everyone seems to know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. While still a horrifying diagnosis, breast cancer is eminently more curable than 30 years ago and as early diagnosis and treatment success increases, affordable life insurance is becoming more and...

I just learned today that due to pressure from reinsurance companies, many life insurance companies will be charging higher rates for women who have had gestational diabetes. Again, why do you want an independent life insurance agent?? While many life insurance...

When completing a health interview before receiving a life insurance quote from your independent life insurance agent, you will be asked a family history question. Most companies want to know if any member of your immediate family (defined as mother, father and full...

I read an interesting blog on www.thediabetesblog.com today written by Chris Sparling. Citing a study done by Northwestern University, he takes exception to their conclusion that depression can cause diabetes. My take on that is that it is probably the other way...

Quite often the habits that lead to coronary artery disease, diabetes, cancer and several other major health conditions start when our kids our young. What a great service we would be doing for them and ourselves if we made these health issues a topic of...

I just read a blog by Jen Creer on www. thediabetesblog.com about teens using the internet as a resource to self educate about their type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Teens (and adults) found out more about the disease, and how to monitor and control it. They found...

How often do we hear it? A friend or family member has had a heart attack or been diagnosed with cancer at an age that is just, well….wrong! We expect health problems and death when someone gets into their 80’s. It’s not nearly so common in their...

Shopping for life insurance when you have had prostate cancer is a challenge. Your best bet is to find an independent life insurance agent who really knows the disease and what underwriters are looking for. This is just not a task for your hometown American Family...
