Thanks for your supports - UPDATE

I was asked by a reporter if this issue affected many people. I felt that it did but didn't have objective data to back up my assumption. I spent some time at the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Associations website to find out more. Here's what I found:

• There was $4.8 Trillion dollars of life insurance in force as of 2018
• About $20 billion in life insurance premiums paid annually
• About 22 million policy holders
• The average Canadian household has $423,000 of life insurance
• Individual term insurance made up about $2.0 trillion dollars of the total insurance coverage
• Individual 10 year term insurance will make up the bulk of the inforce term.
• I am guessing that there is approximately $200 Billion of term insurance renewing in 2020.
• If we divided that number into months that's $16.5 billion per month of insurance renewing each month
• We don’t know how many will be unable to get new coverage because of a lack of medical testing
• The above figures are extracted and/or extrapolated from the CLHIA 2019 Fact Book.
