All states have the state guarantee association which will guarantee all terms of your policies up to a maximum limit (usually 250K). Therefore any policy of 250k or less is guaranteed to be protected as it would be transferred to the association, which can never fail as it is regulated by all the state governments in the event that an insurer goes out of business. Any policy over 250k would be reduced to 250k and the premium would be equal to that of the price and terms of that type of policy at the time of the purchase.
