Government to reinsure soldiers lives after peace
The army and navy will be allowed within five years after peace to convert government voluntary life insurance into ordinary life and endowment forms with no medical exam. Plans call for monthly premium payments through post offices, with minimum coverage of 1000 and maximum 10000. The program, run by the emergency war insurance bureau, aims to lower costs by eliminating private commissions and overheld expenses.
