After helping thousands of clients with their insurance needs, I’ve seen many struggle to identify truly essential coverage.
The best insurance policies include high-limit liability coverage, comprehensive health insurance, term life insurance, and property insurance. The key is matching coverage to your specific risks and assets.

Let me share my insights on how to build the optimal insurance portfolio.
Which Is Better, 70/30 Or 80/20 Health Insurance?
I often get this question from clients trying to balance premium costs with out-of-pocket expenses.
An 80/20 plan typically offers better coverage as the insurance company pays 80% of costs compared to 70% in a 70/30 plan. However, the best choice depends on your health needs and financial situation.

Let’s analyze the key differences:
Cost Comparison
-
80/20 Plan Features
- Higher premiums
- Lower out-of-pocket costs
- Better for frequent healthcare users
- More predictable expenses
- Lower maximum out-of-pocket
-
70/30 Plan Features
- Lower premiums
- Higher out-of-pocket costs
- Better for healthy individuals
- More variable expenses
- Higher maximum out-of-pocket
Plan Analysis
| Feature | 80/20 Plan | 70/30 Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Out-of-pocket | Lower | Higher |
| Annual Savings | Varies | Varies |
| Risk Level | Lower | Higher |
Which Type Of Policy Is Best?
From my experience, the "best" policy varies significantly based on individual circumstances.
The best insurance policy is one that provides adequate liability coverage to protect your assets while offering comprehensive protection against your specific risks. High-limit umbrella policies often provide the best value.

Let’s examine the top policies:

| Minimal | Low | Cost savings |
What’s The Best Life Insurance Policy To Get?
Based on my experience advising clients, this decision often depends on your life stage and financial goals.
Term life insurance is typically the best choice for most people, offering high coverage at affordable rates. A 20 or 30-year term policy with coverage of 10-12 times your annual income is generally recommended.

Let’s explore the options:
