    yes and the answer is Aviva global treatment. i have been dealing with insurance for the last 41 years and the others are just playing at it.
    has they say in insurance compliance if it is not written down it did not happen ?
    Aviva are regarded as the premier critical illness provider, however with popularity comes critical mass and even money marketing makes the comment
    its not applying for the cover its getting it through underwriting and that is becoming an increasing challenge
    not many of the population with less than 38 inch waists nowadays and women less than size 18
    lets just say more than 50%, and very strict on other issues

    about time you did a report on this and then you really would be doing a positive thing

    well done at last and if you read the small print zurich can be reviewed at 3 monthly intervals, and only up to age max of age 70 aviva till 85 and never increased tHE premium since inception in 2017 when it was £4 month. SO YOUR COMMENT A NON STARTER.

    Aviva streets ahead not much you guys can teach me about this one !!
    they say people prefer to have treatment on nhs but once diagnosed anyone crazy not to take this up, Getting this message out to the public is what everyone should concentrate on,
