(BPT) - El 2 de mayo se celebra el Día Nacional del Seguro de Vida. Para millones de estadounidenses, este es el momento de revisar su póliza actual o considerar solicitar una. Aunque muchas personas creen que el seguro de vida puede ser complicado, la necesidad nunca ha sido mayor. Solo el 51% de los adultos en Estados Unidos cuenta con una póliza de seguro de vida, lo que representa una brecha de cobertura de $14 billones en el país (Greenwald Research), y cerca del 41% de los adultos en EE. UU. tienen poco o ningún conocimiento sobre el seguro de vida (Life Happens y LIMRA).
No se sienta intimidado. Es importante que todas las personas protejan sus ingresos, activos y seres queridos frente a las incertidumbres de la vida.
