Simplified life insurance solution for clients who
want peace of mind and NO MEDICAL EXAM
Canadians Underinsured
•
Almost HALF of Canadian households (6 million) admit they would have immediate
trouble meeting expenses if a wage earner died.
•
Not only are they underinsured … They know it !!!
Source: LIMRA
•
About 2 in 10 households have NO life insurance at
all.
•
Of those that have coverage over 30% believe they
need additional coverage.
•
Only 23 % of all households had an opportunity to
buy through a personal meeting with a life agent .
Simplified Issue: What is it?
• Does not require a medical exam, blood test, fluid
samples or doctor’s report.
• Easier to qualify for this type of life insurance than
for traditional insurance.
• One of the fastest ways to get life insurance because
of the simplified issue process.
Who is it for?
People…
– with certain issues that may cause a premium to be
rated or a refusal on a traditional life insurance; or
– who genuinely dislike needles or any type of medical
exam; or
– looking for a simple and fast process to get life
insurance; or
– who don’t want the value of their estate diminished by
funeral costs and other final expenses; or
– who want the tax-free death benefit to be paid quickly.
Addressing Procrastination
• Many Canadians put off buying insurance because
they anticipate a difficult process, thinking it’s
complex and confusing.1
• Simplified issue products are:
 easy to understand;
 easy to apply for.

What about cost?
• Premiums for a simplified issue life insurance are
higher than those of a traditional whole life policy
issued at the regular rate.
• This is due to the higher risk taken by the insurance
company on this type of product.
• However, premiums for a simplified issue product
may be lower than you think!
Cost Example
Annual premium for $25,000 face amount for
60 year-old male non-smoker
