Manhattan Life

I've noticed they are back in TN (or replacing Western Life). I've heard positives about them in the past, but would like some info on it and you alls experience with it.

They are "generally" one of the more tolerable smaller carriers - in my opinion.

Pretty fair underwriting and rates seem to be decent even after a few years.

Thanks for the reply, the TN plan looks like a new incarnation. I've heard their eApp is user friendly.

The eapp is the easiest around.. The signature amounts to typing in the insured's mother's maiden name. The rates are good, the household discount only requires that someone else over 60 lives in the household. The other person doesn't have to be covered by Manhattan. Underwriting is fairly liberal.

It looks like all the carriers are playing the Mutual of Omaha game of starting new lines of business.

Yes, it's no longer the "Mutual of Omaha" game. It's just the Medicare Supplement game - with very few exceptions.

(interesting side note - even UHC "blocks" their business - I noticed that when the new Male/Female rates came out. If someone signed in 2019, on the older "block" - - if someone signed in 2020, on the newer "block")
