Final Analysis on quotes for 35 year old:

As you can see, term insurance can be very inexpensive. The quote from Protective Life was the least expensive quote. However, the quote from Principal National Life Insurance Company was only a dollar more. Principal offers an accelerated underwriting program which would potentially make it worth while to go with Principal instead of Protective Life. Therefore, the lowest quote is not always the very best option. Pricing is very important but it is good to have a broker that has knowledge of the underwriting standards of each company. Ideally, you want to go with the company that is the best combination of four criteria.  1. Best pricing. 2. Easiest underwriting 3. Quickest underwriting 4. Best financial ratings. An experienced broker can help you compare quotes and find the best overall product for you.
