Best life insurance companies

Ameriprise Financial: In general, the feedback for life insurance companies appeared less enthusiastic, and that may have to do with the fact that there's not as much interaction with a life insurance agent than, say, a car or home insurance agent. Ameriprise earned the top spot in this category with an overall score of 90 out of 100. "Ameriprise has made good suggestions on other parts of my portfolio, so I tend to trust them. The rates could be lower, but I believe I am getting the best rates for my situation," says one reviewer from Washington. Seventy-five percent of customers would recommend Ameriprise to a friend.
TIAA-CREF: Just one point behind Ameriprise, TIAA-CREF received an 89 out of 100 for overall customer satisfaction, seeming to perform slightly less when it comes to customer service. Note: TIAA-CREF sells only to employees of nonprofit organizations.
Transamerica: Sixty-five percent of customers say they would recommend the company to a friend.

Best health insurance companies

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois: Just because a company ranked high in this category doesn't mean it's amazing. I guess that shows how Americans feel about the health care industry -- and the fact that many employees simply opt into their company-sponsored plan without shopping around. Most said they would renew probably because they have no cheaper alternatives. While Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois ranked #1 in the study, it scored an overall score of 85 out 100, with only 63% of customers saying they'd recommend the company to a friend.
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey: Nearly tying for first place with its Illinois counterpart, 61% of customers with BCBS of NJ said they would recommend the insurer to a friend. While 98% said they would renew, some customers seemed unhappy with cost.
Kaiser Permanente: The overall score was 84 out of 100, with 58% saying they'd recommend the insurer to a friend. Some customers voiced similar complaints about high out-of-pocket costs.
