The news reports are that the insurance company is paying for it. Unless they are wrong... in which case someone with deep pockets is footing the bill. [ Always remember the Terry Schaivo case. ]
Actually, the only reason I can see for the insurance company to continue paying is that they don't want to become the focus of the case. They'd rather let someone else sit in the bulls's eye. You can bet they are not displeased by the state court ruling.
On the point of why the insurance company is still paying for it is pure speculation.
In any case, my opinion still stands that regardless of the reason for their poor investment decision, the burden of that decision still lands in their lap.
If they need to add a clause to their contracts that discerns eligibility for payouts based on medical condition, then so be it.
