What is the connection between patients suffering from AIDS and viatical settlements?

A viatical settlement is the sale of a life insurance policy to a third party for more than its cash surrender value, but less than its death benefit. The policy owner gets a lump sum, while the third party gets the ownership of the policy, pays the monthly payments, and collects the full sum of money when the insured dies. During the 1980's, most victims of AIDS were gay men who did not have legal spouses or children. A viatical settlement allowed the insured to receive money during their lifetime while allowing them to name someone of their choosing as a beneficiary of the life insurance settlement.
