Pat, a 30-year-old youth worker, meets with his life insurance agent to discuss disability insurancecoverage. After a thorough analysis of Pat’s needs, the agent recommends a policy with a $1,500 a month benefit (50% of Pat’s current salary) payable to age 65 after a 31-day waiting period. Pat has put enough money away to cover 6 months’ worth of expenses, if necessary, but he would prefer not to dip into his savings. He applies for the policy, with the expectation that the premium will be $75 a month. He already thinks this is pricey and would not want to pay any more than that. Some time later, underwriting informs the agent that the policy has been approved, but with a 125% premium rating due to Pat being overweight. Which one of the following options would make the most sense to reduce the premium to a level Pat would accept without compromising too much on his coverage?
