While buying a plan from a particular insurance company, most of the buyers look only into minimum premium plan with less focussing on the coverage features. Sometimes buyer is too pushy to get lesser premium from the insurer or the insurer did it to reduce their loss. This may result in no benefit of coverage or wastage of the policy. And it would experience the policyholder during medical emergency.
