I can tell you that this is a bell that I never get tired of ringing simply because it has ended an often insulting journey and given new hope to someone who carries the stigma of having bipolar disorder. I got an email within the last hour of approval on a life...

I’ve been in on more than a few laughs and jokes when explaining to people that most of the new universal life no lapse guarantee policies provide guaranteed coverage to age 121. A few different and one company actually has their guarantee to 131. Well, today...

The ADA continues to strike me as an incomplete advocate. Just try to find information on what it takes to get affordable life insurance if you have diabetes. Unbelievable! I called them this morning and then sent the following email in an attempt to break through to...
