Blimey, you’re quick on the keypad today!!
True enough on whether the insurance company would pay out, my husband got stung on one that wouldn’t and he ended up losing his house.
I think if it was a Government sponsored policy perhaps then there would be strict guidelines on what circumstances they would pay out for. If you purposefully behaved like an arse to lose your job then you’re on your own!
In the current economic set up in the UK, I believe in free education for all. However, I would set a date in the future (say 1 year) and announce that all benefits to do with bringing up families be abolished for any children born after that point, then further down the line all education be partially paid for by parents to an eventual full financial responsibility of all families to provide for themselves.
I know this does sound harsh but this actually works in countries such as the UAE (where I live). We pay for absolutely everything and it means we have a choice on where to educate our children, a choice in where we use the healthcare and the number of children we have is determined by what we can afford not how much money the Government will pay us (which is nothing here and we never received a penny from the UK as we were over the threshold).
