• declining to depart from the policy's literal language to conform that language to a statutory requirement not directly \impose[d]\ on insurance policies
• “We refrain from engaging in mental gymnastics or from stretching the imagination to read ambiguity into a policy where none is present. The test to be applied is not what the insurer intended, but what the ordinary reader and purchaser would have understood the language to mean.”
