It’s a given that most companies would carry key man life insurance or buy/sell life insurance on the CEO. Any company that thinks they are too small or too large for CEO life insurance coverage really hasn’t thought through what would happen if that...

There is this perverse notion, an urban legend if you will, that if you get declined for life insurance you become life insurance toast from then on. You might as well buy accidental death insurance and just hope that space junk and not cancer is the cause of your...

I had mentioned in a post not too long ago about a new test that might negate the need for invasive biopsies when men have a high or elevating PSA. A recent Reuters article kind of hit the nail on the head when it comes to the reliability of the PSA as an indicator of...

I’m going to make this life insurance application process seem a bit lengthy and cumbersome in explaining it, but be assured right up front that the process is neither of those if you just take some of these suggestions to heart and work right through it. In...

Applying for life insurance is one of those things in life where you really have some control over what it feels like, how long it takes and how it ends. It is, in that respect, somewhat the polar opposite of applying for a passport. My memory of that was that once...

OK. I made it up just to get your attention. No, seriously. Companies are just blowing me away with the offers and approvals they are giving on low stage and grade cancers. In this case I have a company approving a policy at preferred 3 months after a melanoma was...
