From what I heard on one of the interviews with the producers after his death was announced was that they had been unable to get this insurance for this series of concerts due to the insurance companies doubts that MJ would actually complete the tour. ISTR that Jackson flaked on an earlier tour and the insurance carrier took a huge loss on that payout, so were reluctant to take the risk again. --Dale (( insert he usual disclaimers about trusting the news media to actually get anything factually correct. ))
