From time to time we will have a life insurance application postponed until the client completes a planned medical procedure. Sometimes it is a colonoscopy. Could be a tonsilectomy. The issue here is that if you are going to be medically assailed for just about any...

When I’ve talked to people about universal life insurance products that have guarantees to 120 and longer, I’m often met with a bit of skepticism. People can’t seem to comprehend the idea of living past 100 even though it appears to be a popular past...

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...

I have often made the life insurance underwriting comparison between diabetes and bipolar disorder. In simple terms, what is needed to get the best possible rates is compliance with prescribed treatment and good control. The good control is of course different with...

Well, just when life insurance underwriters and doctors think they’re on the same page, and they believe it’s the right page, someone kicks the door down and throws a wrench in their thinking. In search of a way to control diabetes, and specifically type 2...

There are times when I wonder how any one in this world can live without have some degree of anxiety. I know I was just a kid back, but I don’t remember the 50’s and 60’s, or for that matter the 70’s being overly stressful. Then came the...

Well, I’ve got your good news and your bad news. You know how I’ve gone on and on about all of the collateral health issues attributable to obesity. Now there is a study that indicates that people who are obese may in fact have lower health care costs than...

I read a list of lifestyle choices today that, if most of us instituted them in our lives, would probably make positive changes. Oddly enough, the list came from Bipolar.com, an excellent site for those with bipolar or those living with someone who has bipolar...
