Answer
If you find yourself as someone who is considered to have pre-existing health conditions, you would have to research your issuer even more. You could look into Guaranteed Issued Life Insurance. This type of insurance allows you to skip the medical exam, but the caveat is that your premium will be higher than the usual term/whole life insurance. Another option to research would be accidental or dismemberment coverage, but keep in mind that it would potentially take longer for the policy to be paid out. The reason is your death must be caused by a covered accident for your beneficiaries to receive the payout. Again, researching conditions that would be covered, along with noticing any changes to the disclaimers that may come each year, is essential.
