National Life Group vs New York Life

They have been the best life insurance company that I've ever dealt with (and I've dealt with 4 others throughout my life). Their living benefits are amazing and I actually have had friends who've had to utilize them throughout their life. I asked about the alleged "class action law suit" and this is inaccurate information. It's the internet, so it must be true, not exactly. After getting the facts I'm was 100% comfortable going with this company and sleep easy knowing I'm protected should I need it for a critical, chronic or terminal illness or of course upon death.

We just got a medical records request from Tweedy Claims on behalf of National Life. Now why would a life insurance company want to see a bunch of medical records on someone who has died? She's dead. Pay her husband her life insurance. Plus the deceased was never a patient at our clinic. So it looks like they are just throwing out a wide net, fishing to see if they can find anything medical that would disqualify the patient for life insurance after her death. Wow. So sketchy.

I have 2 policies with AARP/NYL for about 15 years. I have diabetes, so it's impossible for me to purchase Life Insurance, until New York Life started a program in conjunction with AARP to offer "no questions asked" policies. There may be cheaper Life Insurance elsewhere, but if it wasn't for New York Life I wouldn't have an insurance for my family after death. The only negative thing I have is that you can not make your monthly premiums with a credit card (I want the points!), but must use a bank draft if you want them paid automatically.

New York Life sent us a medical examiner who was totally unprofessional. First. Even though he visited us at the time when the COVID-19 pandemic in NY just started, he did not put gloves on to take a blood sample. When asked to put gloves on, he demonstrated his disaffection and wore only one. Second. He was over 30 minutes late. Third. After the blood work, one of my veins has been puffy and enlarged. It has been three months now, and it did not get better yet. Because of this experience, I truly do not recommend New York Life. In my opinion, it is the insurance company's responsibility to select right medical examiners to contract with. They should have done their due diligence, which obviously they did not.
