Life Insurers manage risk and avoid it by setting rates that will allow them to profit from the premiums you pay for your life insurance coverage.
They analyze the risk of you dying while your life insurance policy is "In Force" by reviewing your responses to the questions on the application and results of your physical examination.
Their goal is to take care in choosing who they insure, so their insured lives longer and pays more premiums.
