Neil-

I'll leave it to Hunter to look at this further, but this is a product we are well aware of and I believe based on the attachment this is pretty much identical to a product that Hunter and his Uncle (who has his own insurance firm and sells life insurance) have pitched to Labor Unions a number of times in the past with not much success for a variety of reasons. I'll call you about this and NCR later today if you are around and give you more of a download. My guess is given our history with it it is not something we'd want or be able to go back to the Unions with. But let's talk later and we can get Hunter to take a look as well.

Best,

Eric

Each Union member would receive a free death benefit of $10k on a $100k policy and the balance of the proceeds of that policy goes towards funding the premiums and provides a 22%+ rate of return back to the Union Pension fund.

This may also be something we could support indirectly and pass onto to people like Chuck and Mike to rep directly and we participate in that fashion. But Chris Teas from Ticonderoga would be much better able to explain the product and how it works.
