Fight Against Excess Mortality: the Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives

I describe the concept behind the group Insurance Collaboration to Save Lives, in which the financial interests of insurance companies (specifically, life insurance companies) align with helping people to live longer, sometimes with some relatively simple interventions to improve health outcomes. There are upcoming conferences and talks (some free!) so check out the show notes.Episode LinksInsurance Collaboration to Save Liveshttps://www.insurancecollaborationtosavelives.org/Upcoming eventsSociety of Insurance Research 2023 Annual ConferenceDate(s): September 10th-12th, 2023Where: The Westin Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OHOpen Industry ICSL PresentationDate(s): September 21st, 2023 from 11 AM-12 PM CSTWhere: Zoom WebinarDid you see us at one of these previous events?
