Given the new law, my question is probably out dated. What I was told (a year or so ago) is that Life insurance companies are concerned about people that may be applying for multiple life insurance policies with the intent of then offing themselves (people will do the darndest things).

My concern (and question) was to make sure we don't accidently raise red flags by applying with many life insurance companies in an attempt to find one that might sign us up. With the new privacy laws it would seem that this is not a worry.
