Life insurance explained: How to choose or reassess your coverage

(BPT) - May 2 is National Life Insurance Day. For millions of Americans, now is the time to re-examine your current policy or think about applying for one. Even though most people think life insurance can be complicated, the need has never been greater. Only 51% of U.S. adults have a life insurance policy, representing a $14T coverage gap in the United States (Greenwald Research), and nearly 41% of adults in the U.S. are somewhat or not at all knowledgeable about life insurance (Life Happens and LIMRA).

Don't be intimidated. It's important for everyone to protect their income, assets and loved ones from life's uncertainties.
