I've held a policy with IEEE for both life and health insurance for about
3 years now.  It sure is inexpensive.  I think $200K (for life) is about 
$140 annually.

The thing that pissed me off is that they sent a blood test kit, and would
not underwrite a policy for $400K without it.  I don't know if this a 
standard policy practice (industry wide), but it sure is new to me- a 
happy, healthy, unmarried, and untainted heterosexual.
