Ask Your Life Insurance Agent about Sleep Apnea

Medical professionals exaggerate the severity of health conditions, right? Sleep apnea is no exception, right? Forget healthcare professionals for a minute. Tell your life insurance agent you want to take out a life insurance policy. When they start smiling, reveal that you have a diagnosed case of moderate to severe sleep apnea that’s not being treated. Ask them if it matters. Then watch them put their pen down and frown.
