No mass-marketed accident, health, or accident and health insurance may be effected on a person in this State if the charges to the individual insureds are unreasonable in relation to the benefits provided. "Mass-marketed accident, health, or accident and health insurance" for purposes of this chapter means coverage under any group or blanket policy which is offered by means of direct response solicitation whether through a sponsoring organization or the mails or other media, except that it does not include coverage offered to an employee or union member through his employer or union, to a member of a professional association, to a member of a national association of retired or aged persons through the association, or to a member of a national association of war veterans either chartered by Congress or composed of veterans of a particular ethnic, racial, or religious background through the association. This coverage offered through a trust formed by one or more employers, labor unions, or both, or by a professional association or association of retired or aged persons or war veterans to provide insurance coverage for employees, union members, and their dependents, or for association members and their dependents, is considered to be offered through the employer, union, or association respectively. "Direct response solicitation" means any offer by an insurer to persons in this State to effect such insurance coverage which enables the individual to apply or enroll for the insurance on the basis of that offer.
