American Family Life Insurance Company Says

With a strong focus on family, American Family hopes to offer growing families a variety of products that will help them provide for the future.  To do so, the company has a variety of life insurance options including term life, universal life and whole life.  Term life insurances offers coverage for a set number of years, usually in 10, 20 or 30 year terms.  The premiums for term life are usually relatively cheap and death benefits will be paid to the family as long as the death is within the years of the agreed term. Whole life insurance policies remain in force for the lifetime of the insured.  Premiums are to be paid on a regular, set basis in order for the policy to stay in force.  The policy also allows for the accumulation of  cash values. Universal life insurance, like whole life, is a type of permanent protection. However, universal life differs with its flexibility in premium payments. Policyholders have the option to change the amount of insurance according to their changing needs. This, too, accumulates cash value.
