    Sure they can get life insurance but it is extremely expensive to put it mildly. If they are in excellent health with no high blood pressure and no other serious diseases they need to shop around and go with a name brand company at a decent rate. Chances are though, it's going to be a very expensive premium.

    Rates are based on age and health, they can not insure you if you have bad enough health.
    The type, the amount, your age and health all determine what you pay.

    For example I ran this on one company, in good health for a 5000 whole life type policty the rate was about 85 dollars a month.
    And there are some companies that specialise in this
    You may want to check out AARP web site and see if they have some links

    Why do you want life insurance if you are 86? Is there something you feel would be left undone?
