It occurred to me after seeing a clip of Napoleon Dynamite on David Letterman that, given good health, even he could qualify for the best rates available for life insurance. Fortunately for us all, being the best looking or the most successful isn’t found on a...

I heard a story about a Met Life case today that just inspired me. Life insurance companies quite often do things they don’t necessarily have to, like paying a claim when the validity could probably be argued. I’ve talked in previous posts about universal...
