Welcome to the largest, most comprehensive web destination ever created to serve the life and health insurance industry. Although the site is brand new, LifeHealthPro is the result of a partnership between media brands you already know and trust – National Underwriter, Life Insurance Selling, Senior Market Advisor and Agent's Sales Journal. We've shut down these brands' individual sites, combined our efforts and launched this site on a more robust, scalable platform so that we can reach a larger community of readers like you and evolve in step with the industry we're here to serve.
So why LifeHealthPro? And why now?
I would argue that there has never been a better time for LifeHealthPro, and the reason is that the industry is facing challenges at what may very well be unprecedented levels. For one, consumers have less discretionary income to spend on the insurance products they need to secure a stable future for themselves and their families. And, unfortunately, this comes at a time when the financial security of the average American family is more uncertain than it has been for decades, making the need for life and health insurance products all the more pronounced.
Complicating the industry's efforts to help consumers plan for a secure future is the fact that the industry itself is in a state of flux. Massive regulatory and legislative packages coming out of Washington, such as the Dodd-Frank Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, will very likely – and very fundamentally – reshape the way that large segments of the industry conduct business. The long-term effects of these legislative efforts on the industry are unknown. Heck, even the next few weeks are a little fuzzy.
The need for an online destination where readers can find information and tools to help them address the collective challenges they face cannot be understated. LifeHealthPro is that destination. But, what exactly will you find here?
