§ 2728.  Intoxicants and narcotics
 
1.  Intoxicants; narcotics.     A policy under this chapter may not include the following provision:
 
2.  Exemption.    This section does not apply to the following types of insurance or any combination of the following types of insurance: accidental injury, specified disease, hospital indemnity, dental, vision, disability income, long-term care, Medicare supplement or other limited benefit health insurance.’
