In recent days, the issue of life insurance company safety has become a
hot topic of conversation among life insurance policyholders and shoppers.
"Now that the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has
issued clear guidelines on the difference between an insurance holding company
and the state-regulated insurance company itself, the issue of insurance
company strength has suddenly become very important to consumers," remarked
Amy Danise, editor of Insure.com. "We're seeing a heightened interest in
visitor activity related to life insurance. Last week, insurance company
rating lookups at Insure.com surged 41 percent versus the week before, which
tells us that life insurance buyers have concerns and want to view this key
information."
