I had whole life insurance prior to being sick, but while fighting for disability I had to let the policy lapse. Does anyone know of any reasonable insurance companies that will insure people like us without trying to charge extranomical rates?

I'm not getting any younger, I'm pushing 40 and I need to have all this stuff covered in the event something bad happens.

I am sorry, maybe I am naive, but why exactly can't we get life insurance. MS is not terminal and I have a 38 year old friend with terminal cancer and he got life insurance since his diagnosis. I don't understand.

I wish I had an answer for you as well. I was un-insurable for years until my husband changed job, and they had to add me to his insurance. My neurologist would not charge me the whole time. He was my God send. Hope and pray for you daily. I've been in your shoes.

I would do some research and see what pops up. There's one but I'm not sure of the name right now but when I think of it I'll let you know Itatup.

You may have already spoken to your insurance company about starting the old policy again. If you haven't you should check with them. Many policies have an option to pickup coverage again when the premium hadn't been paid past the due date.
