It also reminded me of previous posts where I’ve talked about...Sorry Honey!! It Was Life Insurance Or Quit Smoking!!
Let’s just cut to the chase on this subject. Men who smoke very often don’t carry life insurance because smokers have to pay, in general, 3-4 times more than a non smoker of comparable health. They have decided that the extra premium means life insurance...Life Insurance Treatment Of Marijuana!

I would be the last person in the world to say that habits are easy to change, especially bad, life long, ingrained habits. But no kidding, there are some cases I really can’t wrap my mind around.

I've known Ed for 16 years now and he has helped me when other insurance providers either turned me down or simply... didn't want to deal with me at all. I have a lot of medical issues that make it difficult if not impossible to be insured but Ed worked with me to keep my policy active. He also gave me a 'heads-up' to save me money by renewing prior to an age related rate increase. I would recommend Ed (and have) to anyone looking for coverage- one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.read more
