Low term life insurance rates hear death knell
Article Abstract:
Term life insurance premiums are estimated to surge while long-term premium guarantees could disappear on Jan 1, 2000, as a result of a newly- adopted rule in around 30 US states. With the new rule, insurers will be required to increase the amount allocated for claims on policies with longterm guarantees. Insured people living outside the states where the rule will be implemented might also be affected since insurance companies will likely impose the changes company-wide.
