I’m not sure I could beat this subject too hard. If you have bipolar disorder and have looked for life insurance, you know how challenging and frustrating it can be. One of the underwriting points that is absolutely critical to getting the best rates possible is...

We have talked a lot about and frankly I am excited about the results we are getting for clients with bipolar disorder with their applications for life insurance. Where the need seems to be the greatest is among professionals and business people who need substantial...

Let me just reiterate from previous posts that if you have bipolar disorder, you can expect for almost all life insurance companies to decline you. They don’t care to what degree the disorder impacts your life. They put the completely functional CEO of a company...

Whether or not you agree that there is an obesity epidemic, you would have to have on some pretty serious blinders to not see that lifestyle changes over the past 40 years have definitely packed the pounds on the average US citizen, if not the whole world. An article...

As the word sneaks out a little further each day, I have more and more people contacting me and asking if it’s true. Can they get life insurance at affordable rates even though they have bipolar disorder? I wish I could claim that the answer is unequivocally...

So, you’ve been told you have hypertension, high blood pressure in layman’s terms. Your doctor said that you need to take medication and change a few lifestyle items, primarily eating right and getting more exercise. If you are like the majority of high...

Report after report talk about rampant, out of control obesity. MacDonald’s is to blame. Television and video games are to blame. I’m sure there are reports out there that directly blame my mother’s chocolate chip cookies. Somehow I ate them and...

No. I’m not suggesting that a pre game aspirin will ward off a post game hangover. I’m afraid that those prone to toast every down and play will have to deal with the consequences post game. There may be good reason to do some pre-game heart attack...

Smoking is often touted by those who partake as a way to calm themselves. Of course, from a life insurance standpoint, calm or not, smoking carries so much health baggage with it that rates for smokers are dramatically higher than non smokers. A recent study suggests...

In a post a few days ago concerning the practice of “watchful waiting” that is used in low stage, low grade prostate cancer, I offered to poll several life insurance companies to see how they felt about the practice from a life insurance risk standpoint....

I was asked a few days ago to be interviewed, as a high school assignment, on the subject of obesity and insurance rates. The core question was concerning the fairness of charging higher rates for someone who is overweight. Rebecca Kuo, a student from Houston, TX was...

Do you have restless leg syndrome (RLS)? If not, surely you know someone who does. Those of us with RLS tend to kind of whine about it (I may be projecting…). Now comes real reason to whine. Not only is RLS a pain in the rear, it appears to have some connection...

Now that we have all of the 2007 excuses out of your system, let’s get down to business. You have responsibilities and you should have life insurance. You all recognize that, so here’s what to do. Find a good independent insurance agent. Made that easy...
