After the epidemic raged, more and more young people around the world began to rush for insurance. After all, besides medicine, insurance is the best financial tool to fight the disease.
United States:
" Wall Street Journal " April 2 article, original title: Affected by the epidemic, more and more young people are buying life insurance, if they can buy it.
Since the epidemic, more and more young people want to buy life insurance. MIB Group's life insurance index shows that life insurance policy applications in the United States increased by 3.9% in 2020, which is the largest annual increase since 2012.
One of the reasons Ryan and I decided to purchase life insurance was because my father-in-law passed away at the end of 2020. Ryan and his brother have many remaining issues to sort out, such as legal fees, outstanding debts, and funeral expenses. Fortunately, his father had life insurance, which eased the burden on his sons. I thought that if I died, Ryan would face a ton of expenses on his own: He would be responsible for all of our rent in Brooklyn, Brooklyn; without my health insurance, the cost of treating his chronic illness would skyrocket. I also thought about my brother. I had hoped that, once he started college, I could help him pay for textbooks or other expenses. A few weeks after
submitted it, the application was approved. I purchased a 30-year term insurance policy worth several hundred thousand dollars and paid $36 per month. I suddenly felt much more relaxed and didn't have to think of ways to save money for the unlikely event of tragedy. However, when Ryan's application was rejected, this sense of security was immediately compromised. Ryan is only in his early 30s. Youth is his capital, but his poor health history prevents him from obtaining insurance. This is very disappointing. No matter how hard he tried to save money in other ways, the savings would never come close to the value of a life insurance policy.

She said: "When I saw people my age getting sick and dying, I bought life insurance without hesitation... I didn't want to see my family struggling to raise money after I had an accident."

The monthly increase is even higher by 30%. The country's online sales of term life insurance in May last year surged 70% compared with March.

Compensatory insurance does not conflict with medical insurance reimbursement. As long as you suffer from the disease specified in the contract, you can pay.” According to CCTV Financial Channel: The outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia has greatly increased people’s attention to insurance. In particular, health insurance, which is closely related to everyone, has seen a significant increase in inquiries and sales in recent times.
