55‑10 Closed products, and terminated products and product subgroups
The principle of community rating in section 55‑5 does not:

(b) prevent a private health insurer from terminating a complying health insurance product or a *product subgroup of a complying health insurance product, such that:
(i) in the case of a product—the product will not be available to any person insured under a policy forming part of the product; and
(ii) in the case of a product subgroup—the product subgroup will not be available to any person insured under a policy that belongs to the product subgroup.
