Any insurance works like a Lottery
Insurance is risk adverse behavior. Lotteries are the opposite. Insurance is important no matter what type of society you have, because it's always important to have resources ready for disasters
True, but also maybe insurances shouldn't be companies. Their buisness model is based on fear.
Absolutely I agree. At a minimum they should be required to be non-profit, and really they should be government services for the necessary insurances like medical insurance.
