And DC. Up until now all 50 states and DC had legal, profitable tax paying, big employment businesses that, unlike all of their legal, profitable, tax paying, employing counterparts, couldn’t buy business life insurance. Even when the legalization of Cannabis...

For all of those investors and entrepreneurs who saw the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana coming and took advantage of it, good job. All of us in business, if we weren’t, wish we could have been on the first elevator up to an opportunity that...

It’s been quite a while since I’ve updated Life insurance underwriting guidelines and prices for those who have had a gastric bypass surgery. I shopped the question over the last week so have up to date looks from a large number of life insurance companies...

Before all of you who have been cured by Harvoni jump on the phone expecting the life insurance results in the title of this blog post, let me throw a couple of * * up. Wait a minute. That looks like I said something bad. Let’s talk caveats to that best class...

A life insurance policy can be a static document if 1. You buy it at an age where you’re sure the term length will outlast your needs, 2. You get the very best rate class and 3. There are no surprises in life after you take out the policy. If, for some reason,...

I suppose with that title this post could go about any direction, but what I had in mind was life insurance as affected by type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Both types of diabetes, given optimal age of onset, current age and control as measured by your quarterly A1c...
