Generally, Yes.
Whole life is essentially a combination of Life Insurance and an Investment plan in one package. The rates of return ( due to higher costs) are usually lower than a similar investment without the insurance. So you could very likely get separate term insurance and a separate investment and do better.
One exception is the case where you do not meet the health requirements for the best term policies. The underwriting guidelines may be looser for the whole life policies. Some companies may also offer a plan where you start at one rating and are automatically upgrated to a better rate after some period of time (i.e. 2 years)

Is Term Life Insurance The Best Value For The Money?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010What Is A Good Estimate For Small Business Insurance?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010I am working a project for my MBA class. I am organizing a small business for the project. It’s a cooperative of specialty poultry producers. The cooperative markets the poultry to local major retailers and transports end products (after processing, packaging and storage to retailer DC’s). I need a quote for general liability insurance and insurance on a small refrigerated truck (driven by someone with a pristine record). I need annual premium estimates that coincide with an exact policy amount – the least possible please! Online insurance quoters are not working.
