Book Description

0138912505 978-0138912505 September 17, 1999 13

This current, accurate and detailed industry guide for financial service professionals examines life and health insurance simultaneously from the viewpoints of the buyer, the advisor, and the insurer—providing a comprehensive and unbiased treatise on individual and group life; a forthright appraisal of life and health insurance industry products with careful consideration of the environment; and a complete examination of life insurance company operations and regulation. Bases financial treatment of life insured operations on modern financial theory, and devotes entire chapters to the economics of life and health insurance; individual life and health insurance policies; life and health insurance evaluation; the uses of life and health insurance in personal and business planning; government and employee benefit plans; and the management, operation, and regulation of life insurance companies. Offers a strong global orientation, supporting fundamental concepts with an extensive integration of economic and financial theory and international comparisons, and examines how today's health insurance products fit into a broad framework from a contractual, cost, and performance viewpoints. New chapters on the tax treatment of life and health insurance address such areas as estate planning, retirement planning, and the business uses of life and health insurance. For financial planners, salesmen, actuaries, investment managers, attorneys, CPAs, and other financial service professionals.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor book quality but the seller response to the complaint, September 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Life and Health Insurance, 13th Edition (Paperback)
I ordered a used book marked with "acceptable condition", but when I received it, the book is broken in the middle along the join and taped together with plastic tape. I was disppointed with this surprise and send a complaint to the seller. They offered to return the book and get refund, but I have no time to order another one, so I accept discount and keep the book.

Another hurdle is the delivery time, I was informed (after paid) that the book will arrive in 6 weeks. I asked for quicker delivery, but they just say sorry. Actually, the book arrived after 10 working days from the ordering.
