11-30-03 A different flavor than The Visible Policy, here Mr. Franzen has produced a site with a blend of “...part glossary and part opinion.” I appreciate the boldness, honesty and clarity of thought Mr. Franzen applies in his comments.



National Association Of Insurance Commissioners
http://www.naic.org/
"The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is the organization of insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the four U.S. territories ... The mission of the NAIC is to assist state insurance regulators, individually and collectively, in serving the public interest and achieving the following fundamental insurance regulatory goals in a responsive, efficient and cost effective manner, consistent with the wishes of its members:
protect the public interest; promote competitive markets; facilitate the fair and equitable treatment of insurance consumers; promote the reliability, solvency and financial solidity of insurance institutions; and support and improve state regulation of insurance."

"
Several years ago I purchased a "Whole Life" insurance policy from New York Life. I had no idea how it worked. I knew my premiums would stay the same, and I could keep coverage for my entire life. And I knew the policy was building up cash value, which I could use for a loan or get back should I decide to cancel ("lapse") the policy. But what the heck is a participating Whole Life policy? What exactly are the premiums "buying" me? How much does the policy earn? And, of course, "Am I getting screwed"? You might be interested in what I have figured out."
11-30-03  Mr. Franzen has produced an outstanding site. The quality of his work surpasses the average insurance agent by far, but Mr. Franzen is not an agent. A citizen who simply took a keen interest in the product he invested in, he has done an amazing job of analyzing a Whole Life Insurance Policy. There's nothing else on the web like it!
