                                AMENDMENT NO. 3
                                       TO
                                  SCHEDULE 13D
                                  ------------


This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D, dated February 24, 1995 (as
previously amended) of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America
("Allianz") with respect to the Common Stock, $.01 par value, of Life USA
Holding, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Issuer"), to report additional
purchases of Issuer's Common Stock. This amendment amends only those portions of
the information previously reported that have changed since the prior filing.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          -------------------------------------------------

          The aggregate purchase price of the shares of Issuer's Common Stock
(the "Shares") purchased by Allianz as reported in Item 5(c) of this Schedule
13D was $15,390,789, which purchases were financed by working capital funds of
Allianz.
 
Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction
          --------------------------

          As described in Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, Allianz previously
purchased shares of Issuer's Common Stock for investment purposes and not for
the purpose of controlling the Issuer. In accordance with the Stock Purchase
Agreement between Issuer and Allianz, Allianz has purchased the additional
Shares.  Although, other than previously disclosed in Amendment No. 1 to
Schedule 13D under this Item 4, Allianz does not have any current plans or
proposals with respect to the Issuer or its Common Stock, Allianz reserves the
right to take any and all actions, which could include, without limitation, a
tender offer for all of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
Considerations relevant to any decision may include then current market and
economic conditions, the Issuer's then current or prospective financial
performance, the market performance of the Common Stock and management's plans,
if any, with respect to the Issuer.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
          ------------------------------------

          (a) As of the close of business on February 13, 1998, Allianz
              beneficially owned 4,507,862 shares of Common Stock or
              approximately 17.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
              (based on 22,620,760 shares outstanding on December 31, 1997 and
              2,672,962 shares issued to Allianz on February 6, 1998).

          (b) Allianz has sole voting power and sole dispositive power as to the
              shares of Common Stock described in (a) above.

          (c) The following table sets forth the transactions effected by
              Allianz since February 10, 1998:

</TABLE>

All of such transactions reflect principal purchases effected on the open
market. Other than the acquisition of Common Stock described above, no
transactions with respect to the Common Stock have been effected since February
10, 1998 by Allianz, Allianz Aktiengesellschaft Holding ("AZ AG"), Allianz of
America, Inc. ("AZOA") or, to the best knowledge of Allianz, by any executive
officer or director of Allianz, AZ AG or AZOA.

          (d) No other person is known by Allianz to have the right to receive
or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the
sale of, the securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

          (e)  Not applicable.
