You and your belongings are unprotected for any eventuality if you do not have
insurance. Do you think it is worth exposing yourself to that risk?
It is risky to be without insurance. However, the population that prefers to be without
insurance is growing, possibly due to the following factors:
● It is no longer mandatory to have health insurance.
● Having life insurance is a totally voluntary decision and not mandatory by the
state.
● In some states like New Hampshire and Virginia, you can drive a car without
insurance.
● Motorcycle insurance is not required in the states of Florida, Montana, and
Washington.
● There is no law that requires you to have Home Insurance or Renters Insurance.
● The service received by insurers is sometimes so poor that it is better not to be
insured.
● Insurance is becoming more and more expensive and does not cover what is
necessary.
That some insurance is not mandatory does not mean that it is not necessary. Being
without insurance is a great responsibility for you because you will have to respond
financially for your risks.
The risks of not being insured
Following we will introduce you to the possible risks that you face when you are without
insurance.
Health care. People who are not insured are less likely to be diagnosed in the early stages of an illness and are likely to suffer complications from medical conditions aggravated by lack of preventive medical care.
Car / Motorcycle. If you cause an accident with your vehicle (car or motorcycle) without
being insured, you may face the suspension of the license and you will have to be
responsible for the medical expenses and repair costs of the victim's vehicle.
Homeowners/Renters. If your home or personal property is located in a hurricane or
tornado area and is not insured, you could find yourself in big financial trouble. Also, if
you are a tenant and do not protect your belongings from theft or water damage, you will have to take money out of your pocket to replace your belongings and cover the cost of the damage.
Being without insurance is not the best option, and we cannot wait for something to
happen to us to hire one. For this reason, we recommend that you seek advice or hire an agent in your area to help you find which coverage options best suit your budget and needs. Remember that insurance is to financially compensate you for the feared risks.
