Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives

AM Best: Life Insurance Death Benefits Paid to Beneficiaries Stablized in 2023 Josh Stirling, MBA, JD, founder and president of the non-profit Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives, said the long-term trend has seen American health declining in the past 10-20 years. While the burst of COVID-19 deaths has receded, fatalities from other conditions including heart disease, cancer and neurological disorders are on the rise. While it would be nice to see 2024 better than 2023, he said the pattern is clear. Reasons for the increases could be due to issues such as diet, lack of exercise or even so-called long COVID, he said. “There are definitely signs that Americans’ health is not great and continuing to get worse,” Stirling said. “I think we’re past COVID and now we’re trying to figure out the long-term trends on mortality and morbidity. That data is mixed. Thanks Terrence Dopp and AM Best for your reporting! #insurance #reinsurance #lifeinsurance #health

Life Annuity Specialist: How Advanced Screening Tools, Food Prescriptions Could Reduce Payouts for Insurers The urgency for a shift to a new paradigm in care is mounting. Deaths from many types of cancer have risen markedly over the past five years, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives. The elevated rates appear to be a major systemic factor contributing still-high, post-pandemic mortality rates for a range of conditions, from neurological disorders to cardiac, circulatory and metabolic diseases. "Unfortunately, we think this elevated mortality may be a new normal," said Josh Stirling, the organization's founder and president. He described industry initiatives underway to improve policyholder health as exciting, but cautioned that "there is so more for us as insurance leaders to do."
