“Why advisers should be offering critical illness policies,” by Pam Jenkins, Employee Benefit Adviser

Quote:

“Heads up advisers: Critical illness insurance is turning 35 this year and sales are booming. This voluntary benefit has seen double-digit growth each year from 2010 to 2016, according to the Eastbridge U.S. Voluntary Worksite Sales Report.
