We recently found out we are expecting a baby and need to open a life insurance policy in case something would happen to him so we’d be taken care of. We have insurance that is paid for by his employer. How do we go about getting life insurance? Is it added to our existing medical insurance, or can we get it separately?

Hello, my son (20 years old) is about to buy a used car and I am trying to add him to our policy. The agent says he’s gonna ask some questions about how he will use it. Obviously he’ll use my answers to these questions to price the insurance for the new (used) car.
What are somethings I can say that will get me the lowest insurance? Thanks!
I’ve survived long enough on no insurance. I used to have state farm insurance through my parents and they would pay for my insulin/test strip/needle/etc… costs. But I’ve been paying for it on my own through out my college years because I got married.
I live in Michigan and am married. I am a college student with senior standing.
Could somebody please help me?
I am looking to purchase my own health insurance instead of going through my company. I know that the company takes out the cost on a pre-tax basis, but their insurance is not the greatest. If I do decided to sign up for health insurance, will I be able to use the cost of my own health insurance as a deduction fo tax purposes?
Buying a house and the bank wants to see an insurance policy purchased up front, this is a little different than I remember the last time we bought a house as they took care of everything. My question is how much am I required to insure? The loan amount will be for around $300,000 but it’s a standard ranch style house about 2200 square feet, nothing special about it. The insurance company says it doesn’t need to be for the exact loan amount. About how much would it cost to build a new house if a meteor crashed into it?
I’ve read up on insurance policies and found that ones that have high deductibles and low premiums are good for the young and healthy, but what happens if the unexpected happens (not death, but a serious illness or surgery)? Is there a type of insurance for that or some kind of account (mutual fund, etc.) that can be set up for that?
I own a business (LLC) with two other people. It is only us three; we do not have any additional employees. We pay for our health insurance through our business. Based on these facts, I was wondering how much I stand to save on my personal taxes. Is this a standard write off like any other business expense or does the IRS treat health insurance differently?
When I shop for a home insurance I am always asked if my home is currently insured or if there are lapses in my insurance policy. Some companies outright refuse to give me a quote when I tell them that I haven’t had home insurance in the last 3-4 months. I am wondering why this is important for them?! They just referred to their company policy and did not give me any meaningful reasoning. Who’s the best company for home insurance? Thank you for your answer.
Let’s say there’s a family, and there’s three different prescriptions for different medications within the family. Let’s say the Dad is paying for health insurance. Do you just pay for health insurance once, when you register for it? Do you pay $20 monthly? Does the price you pay go up when you add more medications? I’m confused.
Agents are always extremely keen about selling my family whole life insurance instead of term. According to the agents, whole life is preferable to term since it does not expire and as a result the beneficiary is guaranteed some payment upon the death of the insured. However, why would the insurance company profit from such a setup if they are bound to pay back an amount that is at least equal to the total amount paid?
I have tried to do some research on my own, but I still can’t seem to fully understand this matter. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
