Birth Control An Issue?


 

Led by Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, Catholic bishops have been pressing a muscular campaign to fight a federal mandate that would have required all health insurance plans, including those offered by religious employers, to offer free birth control. This has exposed a deep divide between the 271 active bishops and the rank-and-file U.S. Catholics who are supposed to follow their moral authority. 

A poll commissioned last year by the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture found that just 16 percent of Catholics recalled hearing about the booklet the bishops regularly print to guide Catholics on political decisions. Of those who had heard of it, just 1 percent had read it. And 74 percent said the document did not influence their votes.


The compromise put forth by President Obama that would allow objecting religious Institutions a waiver from paying for birth control and instead have it provided by the insurance carriers is a satisfactory resolution to most of the American public.


While most lay Catholics accept the bishops as doctrinal authorities, "I don't think your average Catholic is walking around in daily life wondering what the bishops think of them," said Leslie Tentler, a history professor at the Catholic University of America.

Double The Size Of Your Life Sales With Needs Analysis

 


Do you ever struggle with identifying the right amount of coverage for your clients? There’s a tool that’s been around for decades that may help. Plus, it may help you increase your sales too!


This tool is really no secret; it’s simply a needs analysis program. Many agents today have gotten away from using the needs analysis programs that have been used for decades to determine an adequate amount of life insurance. Some agents feel they are too invasive, others say they are outdated. However, a recent LIMRA survey says they are incredibly useful.


So useful in fact that the study found buyers receiving needs analysis rewarded their agents’ efforts with life insurance purchases averaging $423,000 in face amount—nearly twice the $215,000 average for buyers receiving no needs analysis! By defining the appropriate amount of life insurance you are also doing a more professional job for your clients.


Are you ready to try it on your next case?  Click Here for a generic needs form.  It’s always a good practice to have a needs analysis in your file to justify the recommended amount of life insurance. Plus, doubling your earnings is a nice side benefit too!
