This is a step above, maybe several steps above your spouse suggesting that it is time for you to get life insurance. You should listen to your spouse because this is usually an awkward subject to bring up which means something important has triggered the request....

I’m probably not headed in the direction you might think with that title, but we need to have a talk. I have clients that have been paying their life insurance bills that were mailed to them and checks mailed back to the company for 20 years without a hitch. I...

When the most recent large life insurance company joined Prudential and John Hancock in the market for fairly underwritten life insurance for those with HIV, I decided to do a test on Google to see what kind of market there was. The response was huge, but with the...

Now that’s what I’ve been talking about for years. For every effort and struggle I’ve gone through on behalf of fair life insurance treatment for HIV+ clients, you, the clients, have been the people that have suffered for so long. Unable to provide...

What a slow, slow dance this has been trying to find a company, wait for a company, invent a company…that would take the HIV+ life insurance market seriously. At last count we have been through six big name companies that have sworn they were in the HIV+ life...
