Why are life insurance policies not cancellable by the insurer?

So that you can plan for your family now and not when you get sick. If companies could cancel when you got sick, there would be very few claims. Gosh, if the policy we're big enough, they could hire someone to follow you and say you got in a car accident - they could cancel the policy, before you even got to the hospital.

Which has a higher premium life insurance or endowment policies?
Endowment policies. In normal life insurance policies, if you outlive the policy term you wont get any money.

The concept has primary application to property insurance rather than to life insurance. In the context of property insurance, assume that the property owner or other person having an insurable interest in a building buys 2 policies from different insurers for, say $2million each. If a loss occurs and the insured makes a claim against one of the insurers, and it is paid, the paying insurer would have a right to recover half of its payment from the other insurer. In the context of life insurance, an insured can have multiple policies. As long as there is full disclosure to each of the insurers of the existence of the other(s), and each insurer is willing to underwrite the risk despite the existence of the other policy, each policy stands alone and pays upon the death of the insured. Naturally, the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy control whether or not payment is actually made.
