Life and health insurance help protect your family's financial security. Life insurance can help make sure your loved ones are taken care of if something happens to you, and health insurance helps protect you from high medical costs so you can get the care you need.
Life Insurance Explained Simply
Term Coverage
Term life insurance is the most straightforward and affordable type of coverage. It lasts for a specific period of time—like 10, 20, or 30 years. If you pass away during that term, the policy pays out to your family. It's designed to provide a large amount of protection at a low cost when your family needs it most.
Permanent Coverage
Permanent life insurance (like Whole Life) is designed to stay in place for your entire life, as long as premiums are paid. It generally costs more than term insurance, but it includes a cash value component that grows over time. It provides lifelong peace of mind and can be a stable part of a long-term financial plan.
Health Insurance Terms
Premium
Think of this as your monthly membership fee. It is the fixed amount you pay each month to keep your health coverage active.
Deductible
The amount you pay for medical care before your insurance starts to share the costs. Usually, the higher the deductible, the lower your monthly premium.
Copay
A set, flat fee you pay for specific services, like a doctor visit or a prescription. You usually know this amount ahead of time.
Out-of-Pocket Max
The most you would have to pay in a year for covered services. It provides a safety net for your family's finances.

What is the difference between term and whole life?
