Tuberculosis Toll Could Cut Life Insurance Costs
Prof. James W. Glover of the University of Michigan shows that a $10,000 policy holder could save about $20 yearly if tuberculosis and typhoid were eliminated. Tuberculosis alone costs a policy holder about $16.70 to $17.50 in life expectancy loss by age twenty. National efforts by white state commissions and the study association urge a broad public push to reduce life insurance rates through disease elimination.
