Any insurance, be it car, house, life. It's all scams. You're essentially paying someone legally to bet on your behalf, and than getting a pittance of a payout. That's ONE problem. The more annoying problem, is rapid hyper inflation in whatever industry is touched by insurance. Car insurance for example, a small light bulb used to cost a few cents to replace. Now, you need to buy the entire casing, the wiring, and it costs 1200$ not including labor. This is because you only pay the deductible, so everyone and their mother can skimp from the top. Same with homeowners insurance. A simple home inspection is 500$. In 1955, getting a deed/house title notarized and approved was 1$ …. I know because I saw a historical document to that effect. Thanks jews! A true blessing to the world /s

It is similar to hedging an investment. In an ideal situation you are going to lose some money on it. But you are accepting that loss to cover your losses in the event that things do not go the way you had planned. I am not turning my back on something like that no matter how much of a sham people on this forum say it is.

Exactly. They probably just came across someone who was trying hard to sell them the wrong kind of insurance because it pays a big commission.
