AARP was wrong

“Thank you so much for the effort you put into securing my husband’s life insurance policy. As a person diagnosed with bi-polar type II, he was treated as nearly impossible to insure by our old insurance agent. Yet, he is fully functioning with this disease and has a flourishing career. You were able to hear our frustrations about the stigma attached to the bi-polar label--that all bi-polar patients are depressive or suicidal-- and teach the insurance company’s underwriter the difference between a functioning bi-polar II adult and a person whose disease is far more of a liability to an insurance company. Thank you for the effort you put into securing my husband’s policy; with your help, we ended up with a policy that costs the same as a healthy, non-smoking, non-bi-polar adult. Moreover, your service as our agent was impeccable. You followed up every step of the way. We can’t wait to tell others--with or without illness-- about your service.”
