Being offered through work. Got brochures/prices today, and an email both asking when’s a good time to schedule a meeting as well as saying I’d get a call to setup a meeting.

<sigh> salespeople ...

I’ll look everything over this weekend and compare it to what I already signed up for, and try to gauge my likelihood of impending cancer and random limb separation (or whatever it is they cover).

My sister has a klutzy daughter and has it for her accidents. She likes it.

A friend of mine got AFLAC, and a couple months later was diagnosed with cancer. She said AFLAC was very helpful, and the extra money helped tremendously.

I haven't had to use it for anything yet (knock wood), but it's very cheap. I signed up for everything they offered at my workplace, and the monthly bill is IIRC $26. And it's portable, if I leave the job I can keep the coverage, which is nice.

Also, the company was founded in my hometown, which I didn't know until very recently (it's since moved to Columbus, GA, which is the "C" in AFLAC).

My brother had AFLAC when he worked at the college and he was pleased with it. And every year at the healthfair he got a free AFLAC duck toy for re-signing. Can't beat that with a stick.

We had it at my job going back maybe 8 yrs ago so my opinion might not be valid now. I and others found that they did not pay out what they claimed they would when it came to more costly procedures. The company wound up dropping them.
