Apparently there is a significantly better chance of suffering a stroke if you live in the south, with Mississippi leading the way. The percentage of people who have strokes in Mississippi is about twice the national average. I did some relief work there after Katrina...

Since 9/11, in fact starting that day, the question of whether life insurance covers you if you die during an act of terrorism or war has come up often. No doubt that we all feel more vulnerable since that day, but the answer from all the insurance companies I talked...

So many out there assume they are all set because their job offers this great group life insurance plan. Now don’t get me wrong. If it’s inexpensive I think you ought to take advantage of that. What I’m talking about is putting all of your eggs in...

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...

Probably the most disgruntled life insurance clients get is when they are told that their insurance is going to cost more because their estimate of their weight was off, or they weren’t really 5’9, but 5’8 1/2 (which examiners round down, not up)....

Allie Beatty who writes for www.thediabetesblog.com brought up a question about how staunch life insurance underwriters are about the HbA1c being the benchmark for determination of control for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It was her contention that, especially with...

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...

According to a recent survey most people (at least the grown up variety) agree that they need life insurance. The reason they cited for not having made the purchase…..no one ever talked to them about it. As a professional this concerned me. How could there be...

Just having returned from a week in Jamaica thinking to escape one of my greatest passions about life insurance, diabetes, the more a I got whacked up side the head with the fact that it seems to epidemic everywhere. Turns out Jamaica has a real problem with juvenile...

I’ve heard some good ones. I don’t want to make her rich. She only needs enough to get by until she can find another husband. What happens if I’m still alive when I reach the end of my term insurance? A lot of excuses for not stepping up and buying...
