I have two questions:

1. What does convertible term insurance mean?

2. Is there a term insurance that allows you to pay the same premium forever? Example: My age is 25, my premium at this age is $80/year. Can I still pay the $80/year even if I already 65 years old and older?

Invisible asked:


Obama has even renamed his health care reform to health insurance reform in order to demonize the insurance industry.

It almost seem like people think the insurance companies are the hospitals and doctors and nurses.

The reason health insurance is so expensive is because HEALTH CARE is expensive.

Why doesn’t Obama want to go to the root of the problem instead of one link in the chain?

Rocksam asked:


It is very surprising to note people’s repulsion for term plans in general. Just because you get your money back in other endowment plans or other money back or even unit linked plans, it does not make it the best insurance plan for pure insurance need. I wish I could instill more common sense in people in general.
