It’s interesting to see the debate on this issue. Some states have adopted regulations that don’t allow insurance companies to use foreign travel as criteria for underwriting life insurance. I’m not convinced that is a prudent move. Whenever a health...

It was not that long ago that UNINSURABLE was often found in the same sentence with cancer, no matter the type, stage or grade. That was based on the fact that back when I was young people who had cancer, almost any kind of cancer, died from it. It seemed that the...

I’ve found that one of the hardest things to decide when getting quotes for term life insurance is what term length is best. The reason it’s such a challenge is that the truth is that not all of our needs go away at once. A good independent life insurance...

Most people in their 20’s haven’t thought of and don’t care about life insurance, unless possibly one of their parents has died and either did or didn’t have adequate life insurance. Parents, it’s time to talk about the facts of life....

Life insurance for women is a topic that sometimes brings primal grunts from men. Somehow they think women have wandered onto hallowed ground if they start valuing themselves in the family so much that they can quantify it with life insurance. Amazingly enough the...

Like so many urban legends or wives tales, there is the notion going around that many people cannot get life insurance, or at the very best they have to have been cancer free for at least 10 years. Breast cancer survivors have been on the wrong end of this information...

Want to throw a wet towel on an adult conversation? Ask your friends how much life insurance they carry on their children. The normal answer would run the gammet from, “why would I do a thing like that” to “that’s not something I want to talk...

I was recently speaking to a woman in Arizona and she made the comment that her husband would really like to have term life insurance, but he had been told that he was uninsurable. Being the nosy kind of guy I am, and knowing that she is a nurse and would have good...

Ask a life insurance agent that has built his career convincing people that whole life insurance is everything you will ever need, about term insurance, and then cover your ears. You will still be able to hear them just fine. Their voice will have raised enough to...

Burial insurance, sometimes also called a final expense policy, can be an affordable way to spread the expense of a loved one’s death over a number of years. Morbid idea? Not when you think it through. All of us reach the point of final expenses sometime. Final...
