+
+Based on my interactions with folks, perhaps the biggest reason why they don't have life insurance is because the policies are a nightmare to understand with all sorts of jargon and hidden clauses.
+
+Then there's the fact that insurers keep changing things. For example, I didn't know underwriting rules had become much tougher and rejections had gone up.
+
