Should I carry life insurance on my children? The question of carrying life insurance on children has elicited all kinds of responses over my years of answering that question. Some parents don’t like the idea for emotional reasons. They didn’t want to...

I was contacted today by a woman who was pretty distressed by the fact that Gerber Life wouldn’t approve her 17 year old daughter for life insurance. The young lady has type 1 diabetes and I want to touch on a couple of subjects with this particular situation....

There are really only two reasons to consider life insurance for your children. One would be if a low cost burial policy, as much as most parents would rather not think about that, is easier to manage than actually coming up with burial costs out of pocket rather than...

I’ve talked about life insurance from one end of life to another, from insurance for children to senior life insurance. The one common denominator is that if someone doesn’t take any action to put life insurance in force there is absolutely no way their...

I went to war with the life insurance industry several years ago over the issue of children with impairments not having access to coverage, even at a higher rate than the standard rate they offer perfectly healthy kids. The issue came up when I shopped for life...

No, really! Not return of premium term insurance. Not some magic vanishing premium whole life thing. This isn’t even the latest life settlement, premium financed mega mess. I think this is particularly clever and nice too. A company that is reaching out and...

Those who follow my blog have seen this battle going on for years. I will admit that the steady stream of “no ways” that I have received occasionally dampens my enthusiasm, but an email I received this morning has prompted a resurgence in my efforts. The...

I’m occasionally asked about adding a child rider on to a new life insurance policy. I say occasionally because the truth is that most parents don’t want to talk about children’s life insurance. One of those taboo things. Being a parent and a life...

The whole subject of life insurance on children has a certain “yuk” factor that comes with it. Parents, even those who would be hard pressed to deal financially with the loss of a child, would really prefer not to talk about it. I would like to throw out...

How can you charge so much money for the education it takes to become a doctor and never teach them about the impact of poorly kept medical records? There is a huge problem in the integrity of the information that is put into medical records. It runs from casually...

Well, I certainly haven’d hidden the fact that my opinion of Suze Orman’s opinion on all matters life insurance is lower than a lizard’s belly. She is product ignorant and a few bubbles off when it comes to common sense on the subject. Now comes...

There are nearly 2000 companies in the US that purport to be life insurance companies. When you work your way through all of the “sort of’s” and “wanna be’s”, and get down to those companies that are serious about the products they...

Some time ago I started on a quest to find out the facts about mortality experience of children with type 1 diabetes. The issue I had initially run into was that insurance companies simply would not offer life insurance to children with type 1 diabetes, almost across...
