True, but not a correct analogy. The banks (although insured to 100k) were
NOT protected by the State. Whereas Life Insurance Companies are.
There has NEVER been a Life Company failure that resulted in a policy
being Null & Void. The failures that have occurred, resulted in ALL of
the contract being HONORED (as stated in the contracts) by other companies.
