Do we really want to even throw that question out there? How about we test out a few facts, throw some perspective on it and see how many of us want to move? The US spends more on health care than any other developed country….with worse outcomes! Well OK, but we...

I don’t think it’s any secret that there are some things about our country, and please don’t think I don’t love and wouldn’t defend the USA, that just bug me to tears. I had a call from the wife of a disabled veteran today who wanted life...

Here in the Rockies we have avalanches and then we have these small chunks of snow that break loose and roll down slopes forming pinwheel looking things. Some of them look kind of like a cinnamon roll. Well, that was a weird way to start to say that our efforts and...

I have come to the conclusion that I must not have adequately explained why life insurance underwriters can’t overcome the issue of being disabled due to bipolar disorder. It is simply a show stopper. Being on disability is to some degree a stumbling block no...
