The short answer is yes, but not the company you think.  As a general
rule, IF your company provides both life insurance and health
insurance they are provided by the same umbrella company, even if each
"provider" has a different name.  Most large employers take out life
insurance on their "expensive" employees and list the corporation as
the beneficiary.  The employee is never told.  As a general rule, and
as was confessed by that doctor before Congress on video even, if you
are diagnosed with some expensive long term illness and a 70% or less
survival rate, but have only a 100K life insurance policy, HMO cost
cutting dictates they pay out on the cheaper of the two.  All
treatment, other than pain killers, is denied.

HMOs have an answer for everything.

Now take your package of Soylent Green and move along.
