State insurance departments must approve all insurance polices. Does that make a difference? And is not a refusal ot issue policies to people who won' accept autopsies, amount to a declaration that certain faith groups (Jews, Hmong and others) are not eligible for insurance? Marc Stern

Insurers refuse to cover suicide and to cover any claim where an autopsy would reveal cause of death and the insured refuses the autopsy. That then opens a market for insurance policies for those whose beliefs preclude autopsies.
