We have been receiving numerous inquires recently about the H1N1 virus (Swine flu) asking if we should be taking out life insurance coverage specifically to cover ourselves and our loved ones in case the worse happens during this pandemic.
It does look like the H1N1 virus may come with a vengeance this fall with one study finding that we could see the peak as early as mid October with many people dying. So should you be running out to buy life insurance coverage in case something should happen to you?
Most of us do not like to think about death but it can happen to us at anytime and yes it is better to plan today for tomorrow. If it takes the H1N1 virus for you start thinking about it, it is better to take time to make that consideration and if needed to take action today.
It is important to note that if you contract the H1N1 virus and want to take out a Life Insurance policy, most insurance companies will not cover you until the symptoms have cleared. In some cases they may want a period of time to pass before they will even consider coverage.
