Major Medical
What is Major Medical Insurance?
You may know Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans as major medical, comprehensive coverage, or even “Obamacare,” but whatever you call them, these plans meet all the requirements of the ACA and are typically the most comprehensive on the market. If you have a chronic illness or face a medical emergency, these plans can help prevent staggering expenses.
​
ACA plans provide benefits for a broad range of health care services, both inpatient and outpatient, and can save you money on routine doctor visits, prescription drugs, preventative care, hospital stays, and more. These plans are available to almost everyone, and you can’t be denied based on preexisting conditions.

Term Life
What is Term Life Insurance?
Term life insurance is a kind of life insurance policy that covers you for a set period of time—not your whole life—and pays out a lump sum of money to your beneficiaries if you die while the policy is in effect. Term life insurance is the simplest and most affordable form of life insurance, and is often the best type of life insurance policy for most shoppers. Unlike whole life insurance policies, which can be complicated and expensive, term life insurance quotes are easy to understand and offer the cheapest rates on financial protection for your loved ones. There are several types of term life insurance, which we’ll describe below.
How Term Life Insurance Works
-
Term life insurance lasts a set amount of time. Policies are usually sold in 10, 20, or 30-year terms
-
You’ll make monthly or annual payments, called “premiums,” to keep the policy in force.
-
If you die while the policy is in force, a pre-set cash payment called a “death benefit” will be paid out to whomever you name as a beneficiary. The bigger you want this payment to be, the more your premiums will cost.
-
At the end of the term, the policy expires and is no longer in effect.
