Anybody know if someone in McCain's situation is eligible for life insurance?

I'm thinking a 72 year old with multiple bouts of cancer and a history of high cholesterol, along with multiple older injuries might not be able to qualify.

Then there is this from political wire:

Will McCain Die in Office?
Politico looks at the likelihood of Sen. John McCain living out his presidency, if elected this November.

"It's a macabre point to raise on the night when Palin will speak to the convention here -- but a look at the actuarial tables insurance companies use to evaluate customers shows that it's not an irrelevant one. According to these statistics, there is a roughly 1 in 3 chance that a 72-year-old man will not reach the age of 80, which is how old McCain would be at the end of a second presidential term. And that doesn't factor in individual medical history, such as McCain's battles with potentially lethal skin cancer."

"The odds of a 72-year-old man living four more years, or one full White House term, are better. But for a man who has lived 72 years and 67 days (McCain's age on Election Day this year), there is between a 14.2 and 15.1 percent chance of dying before Inauguration Day 2013... Going by the Social Security Administration's tables, that's nearly ten times the likelihood that a man aged 47 years and 92 days (Barack Obama's age on Election Day this year) will die before Jan. 20, 2013."

1. Anybody with McCain's kind of wealth is eligible.

That's got to be one hell of a premium though.

2. Once you have cancer,you are deemed uninsurible.
