James Anderson
Insurance writer — life, health and policy comparison
James Anderson writes Legamoney's life and health insurance coverage: term versus permanent policies, underwriting and exclusions, marketplace and employer health plans, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. He reads the policy language and the NAIC model terminology rather than relying on carrier marketing, and states plainly what a policy does not cover. He works with the Legamoney Insurance Desk.

How we verify what we publish
- 01Every factual claim is traced to a named regulator, government agency, or the provider's own published terms before publication.
- 02Figures that change — rates, limits, thresholds — link to the primary source that publishes them rather than being quoted as a fixed number.
- 03Worked examples are shown as full arithmetic so a reader can reproduce the result independently.
- 04Each guide is checked by the owning editorial desk before it is published, and again whenever the underlying rules change.
