What is insurance? Based on the definition by Wikipedia is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for payment. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; the insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity buying the insurance policy.
There are many kinds of insurance in the market; we have health or medical insurance, life, accident and dismemberment, vision, dental, auto and home insurance and credit insurance. Most of the people today, are carrying medical insurance either provided by the government, obtained from their employers or personally obtained. And their are a number of health insurance companies worldwide.
Obtaining an insurance, would actually provide an assurance to people in one way or another. However, does it really serve its purpose? For some, yes its does serve the purpose, since those people are usually more prone to sickness (in this case for medical or health insurance).
Regarding life insurance, usually people would opt for this type to make sure that the people they would leave behind will have something to use and hold on to even after their loss. This hold true to families with normally their fathers and mothers are the breadwinners or the providers, hence they would like to ensure that their children would survive even after their loss.
Moreover, when we speak of the principles of insurance, as per Wikipedia it involves pooling funds from many insured entities (known as exposures) to pay for the losses that some may incur. The insured entities are therefore protected from risk for a fee, with the fee being dependent upon the frequency and severity of the event occurring. In order to be insurable, the risk insured against must meet certain characteristics in order to be an insurable risk. Insurance is a commercial enterprise and a major part of the financial services industry, but individual entities can also self-insure through saving money for possible future losses.
We actually have other types of insurance, earthquake and fire insurance for natural and disasters. This goes to show that people would really go for the security their life, health and possessions. People would like to see to it that they have something to look forward to even after a big loss.
