Good call, most assume they are fully covered and don't read the PDS.

This also would have also had an adverse effect upon the entirety of the company. So what were they to do? only pay half claims and go bankrupt? Pay only some claims and not others and still go under??

Food for thought
Exactly, if they had to pay all these people who didn't pay the premium in the first place, then they (like most insurers) would be broke over night.
