Types of life insurance-by usa
Life insurance is a contract in which you pay premiums, and in return, your beneficiary receives a lump-sum payout when you die. Your beneficiary can use the money to pay for things like daily expenses, a mortgage, your kids' education, medical bills and other expenses. USA Life insurance coverage generally falls into two categories, term and permanent. The right fit for you often depends on your goals.
