agree to pay premiums for a set period of time or term.

need to have a medical exam in order to qualify for a term life insurance
policy, this keeps the rates lower on term life insurance than on other types
of life insurance where no exam is required.

your age, at the time you purchase the plan. Term life insurance prices will
vary based on your personal situation as well as the risk evaluation of each
