Can’t believe any insurer would take on that liability for a well known drug addict.

She had been on the mend and in the lat couple of years looked a hell of a lot better than she did previously.

For a high enough premium you can ensure ANYBODY and practically ANYTHING. It is a risk analysis performed by the underwriters.

I’m sure that the premium for the policy was quite high for a 60 year old with drug problems.

But that’s what insurance companies do, assess the risk and put a price on it.

"Can’t believe any insurer would take on that liability for a well known drug addict."

* It is called "Key Man" Insurance.
* You have to have "Insurable Interest" (aka an incredible CEO or inventor etc within an organization ) to take out a policy.
* So it is insurance to find a replacement this valuable human asset.
* In Carrie's case, she was an irreplaceable part of the Star Wars Franchise.
* Sounds like a strong case for insurable interest for Disney to me.
* Attached to these expensive policies are usually annual checkups, and more than the fog the mirror types, one gent I know in his 30's/40's in the late 80's had to even do the treadmill, and their was no family history of heart disease.
