Naturally, after the milked them for 60 plus years. Prudential life in late 80s or early 90s realized they was going to have pay out big bucks with whole life policies rhey wrote. So they devised schemes to offer cash paid out which decreased or eliminated whole life payout. It worked when you flash some cash working class can;t resist it.
