Whole life insurance is a permanent type of life insurance that provides coverage for your entire lifetime (unlike term life which expires after a set period). It has two main components:

1. Death Benefit: A guaranteed amount paid to your beneficiaries when you pass away
2. Cash Value: A savings component that builds value over time tax-deferred. You can:

• Borrow against it
• Withdraw from it
• Use it to pay premiums
• Surrender the policy for its cash value

Key features:

• Fixed premiums that never increase
• Guaranteed minimum rate of return on the cash value
• Can be used as part of estate planning

Term life insurance is the simplest and most straightforward type of life insurance. Here's how it works:

• Provides coverage for a specific time period (typically 10, 20, or 30 years)
• Pays a death benefit only if you die during the term
• Much lower premiums than whole life insurance
• No cash value or investment component
• Premiums typically stay level during the term
• Once the term expires, coverage ends (though many policies can be renewed at a higher rate)

Accidental Death Insurance is similar to AD&D but more limited - it only covers death resulting from accidents. Here's the key information:

Coverage:

• Pays only if death is caused directly by an accident
• Must occur within a specified period after the accident (often 90-365 days)
• Death must be independent of other causes 
• What's Typically Covered:
• Car accidents
• Falls
• Drowning
• Work-related accidents
• Other unintentional injuries

Key Points:

• Lower premiums than regular life insurance
• No medical exam usually required
• Often available through workplace benefits
• Can supplement regular life insurance
• Benefits paid in addition to other insurance

A hospitalization policy (also called hospital indemnity insurance) is supplemental coverage that pays benefits when you're admitted to the hospital. Here's how it works:

Key Features:

• Pays a fixed daily or monthly benefit while you're hospitalized
• Benefits paid directly to you, not the hospital
• Can be used for any purpose (medical bills, living expenses, etc.)
• Typically pays regardless of other insurance you have

Benefits:

• Helps cover deductibles and copays from regular health insurance
• Covers non-medical expenses during hospitalization
• No restrictions on how you use the money
• Can help replace lost income during hospital stays

AD&D (Accidental Death & Dismemberment) insurance is a limited form of insurance that pays benefits in two specific situations:

1. Accidental Death: Pays if you die from an accident (not illness or natural causes)
2. Dismemberment: Pays if you lose certain body parts or functions due to an accident, such as:

• Loss of limbs
• Other specified injuries

Key points:

• Often pays on a "schedule" basis (example: 100% for death, 50% for loss of one limb)
• Much cheaper than regular life insurance
• Very specific coverage limitations
