Clark has some great news for you on the insurance and health care front. Many insurance companies are now writing policies to current and former cancer patients, according to the Dow Jones News Wires.

One major life insurance company announced this week that it will offer insurance to women with early stage breast cancer at the same rate as women who are free of the disease.

It used to be that having the Big "C" meant you were not insurable. But actuaries are finding that survival rates for cancer are so high these days that they’re happy to sell you life insurance.

So, if you’ve been denied health insurance because of cancer, you should shop around and see if you’re eligible now.
