        (1) cancel, fail to renew, or otherwise terminate the policy on the grounds of age or deterioration of the mental or physical health of the insured;
        (2) include a provision requiring a new waiting period in the event existing coverage is converted to or replaced by a new or another form of health insurance within the same company, unless there is an increase in benefits voluntarily selected by the insured or group policyholder; or
