Is this true in an absolute sense?
There are impossibility proofs in many domains and I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that there are certain conditions that create circumstances that aren’t insurable.
Asking sincerely
- miniBill 2y agoI mean, if your house costs a million and gets destroyed by fire every year I can insure you for 100k per month, so it is insurable just. Not usefully.
- ben_w 2y agoDe facto/de jure. I would argue that if the cost of the insurance exceeds the available money, that counts as de facto "uninsurable".
- Ferret7446 2y agoThat's not "uninsurable". That's "you can't afford it" or "the insurance isn't worth it". Both of those are already true for many cases where insurance exists and people buy it.
- ben_w 2y ago> Both of those are already true for many cases where insurance exists and people buy it. Tautologically false: when "you can't afford it" because there isn't enough money to pay for it, you cannot in fact buy it.
- Ferret7446 2y agoThere's a difference between "you personally can't pay to insure it" and "it is not possible to insure". By your definition, a lot of very cheap cars are "uninsurable" because their owners are broke, which does not seem to be a useful definition.
