💙 Have you thought this before?
“I have health problems, so I probably can’t get life insurance.”
That’s another common life insurance myth.
My own health history looks very different today than it did a few years ago. A diagnosis, treatment and surgery added quite a few pages to my medical history.
But here’s what I want you to know:
👉 A health condition does not automatically mean you can’t qualify for life insurance.
Different companies look at health conditions differently. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment and overall health, you may:
• Still qualify for traditional coverage
• Need to wait for a period of time
• Have different pricing or coverage options
• Need to explore another type of policy
The biggest thing? Don’t make the decision for the insurance company by assuming they’ll say no.
Ask. Explore your options.
💙 Your health history may change the conversation, but it doesn’t necessarily end it.
