Does a Will supersede A Life insurance beneficiary clause?
No, They are two separate legal documents with entirely different purposes. An insurance policy is a contract between the insured and the Insurance company. The insurance company is bound by the contract to pay the beneficiary designated by the insured policy owner. Life insurance proceeds are for the designated beneficiary. Heirs in a will are designated inheritance of estate by the will. A will is not a contract, it is a document of assignment.

The will has no relationship to the insurance policy. The Policy is a contract between the insurance company and the insured and does not become a part of the estate.
What is the difference between a company that is fully insured and one that is self insured?
A company that is fully insured goes to an insurance company and buys insurance. A company that is self insured does not buy insurance and plans to pay any claims out of the companies "pockets". For instance, if you own a home but choose not to buy home insurance, you are self insured if you should have a fire.
Can you explain life insurance in very simple terms?
Very basically, insurance is a contract (called an insurance policy) between one party (the insurance company) and another (the insured). In the case of life insurance, it is a life that is being insured. In return for the periodic payment of money (called a premium) to the insurance company, the insurance company agrees to pay a sum of money when the insured (whose life is insured) dies. The money is generally paid to the person (or sometimes an entity, such as a charity) that is designated in the insurance policy as the beneficiary. The beneficiary is designated by the insured when the insured buys the insurance but can usually be changed up until the time of death.
You found canceled insurance payment check but insurance company refused to give you any information metlife said they did'nt have to?
Are you the executor of the estate? That might help. But life insurance is a contract between the insured and the company. They pay the proceeds to the person the insured wants them to pay it to. No one else has a right to know about it.
What is the purpose of insurance policies?
An insurance policy is a contract between an insurance company and the person purchasing the policy (or the insured). The policy costs a specified amount and if all premiums are paid in a timely manner, once the insured has died, their beneficiary (who whomever they name) will be paid a sum of money.
Can the insurance company at fault deny paing for treatment to injury from auto accident?
Sure. Remember that an insurance policy is a legal contract wherein the insurance company agrees to accept risk from the policy holder according to the terms of the contract. If the policy holder does not live up to the terms of the contract then the insurance company may deny coverage. For example, if the person lied to the insurance company on the application then the insurance company may deny coverage. One of the terms of the policy is that the insured agrees to inform the insurance company of all residents of the home as well as regular drivers. If the insured does not list his 17 year old child who drives one of the vehicles regularly and lives in the house and then the child has an accident the insurance company could not be expected to provide coverage for the accident. Since the insured broke the terms of the policy which is a legal contract then the company probably will not provide coverage because the insured committed material misrepresentation and lied in a significant manner on the application.

Is it true that life insurance can be described as a contact between an insurance company and the insurance policy holder?
That is definitely correct! The terms of that 'contract' and the obligations on each party will be dependent on the country (and possibly the state), however for term life insurance policies generally the life insured is obligated to pay the premiums for the insured sum and if the life insured has met the application obligations in obtaining the policy, the life insurance company is obligated to pay that sum. In Australia, life insurance contacts between the life insurance company and the life insured is regulated by the Insurance Contracts Act 1984. In the UK, I believe the origins of Life Insurance contracts stem from the Life Assurance Act 1774.
