X-Message-Number: 21315 Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2003 02:01:41 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Platt <> Subject: insurance I'm puzzled that Rudi Hoffman didn't mention index-linked insurance, which seems to answer the initial question about the declining real value of the face value of a policy. I bought an index-linked whole life policy in 1992. Every year the insurance company increases the premium a little, to keep pace with the face value, which increases by the same percentage as last year's cost of living index. Of course, we don't know that the cost of cryonics will increase by the same amount as the cost-of-living index. But at least I have a fighting chance of keeping pace. I have never understood why index-linked insurance isn't more popular. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21315
