You can get life insurance just one year after a stroke. An insurance underwriter will want to see he is compliant with taking any prescription medications and seeing his doctor for regular check-ups. Factors like diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and being overweight all contribute to strokes, so the fewer of these your husband has, the lower his premium will be. It's important you go to a knowledgeable independent agent who will ask lots of questions, understand his stroke, treatment, and present a good case to several insurance carriers to see who comes back with the lowest price.Chris
