    Talk to a broker. Many companies consider dual policies a case of splitting the risk between them, not doubling the payouts even though both premiums are being paid.

      That seems odd, since insurance is fundamentally just a bet. There’s no reason one can’t make two bets on the same thing.

        It’s how medical insurance works in Canada if you have coverage from two working parents. Not sure about other forms wich is why I said check with a broker.

        Thinking about this again, if someone has the money to pay two policies, they can probably self-insure depending on the specifics.
