Life Insurance

I just got off the phone with a good friend. Right on the heals of hearing about Scott, my buddy tells me his dad was just diagnosed with a rare form of aggressive Leukemia. Apparently he had a persistent flu, finally went into the doctor, and after just a couple tests- bam, "you have leukemia". Apparently it was a big shocker. He really thought it was simply a virus. He's of a normal weight, has a good health history, doesn't drink or smoke, relatively low stress...
Being in the insurance business, I can't help but immediately think of his wife and whether or not they have life insurance, good health benefits and have their finances in order. Especially with life insurance, having a leukemia diagnosis makes it virtually impossible to secure any protection for his family now. Hopefully they did some planning before this happened.
The horrible thing is, people usually wait until it's too late to take care of their plan.
Don't get caught off guard- take care of your life insurance plan now.
