About This Quote

Insurance is a good thing. It can be used to save lives, protect people from financial ruin, and help people recover from medical emergencies. It's the dream of every American, and it's something that insurance agents are all too happy to sell. What most people don't understand is that insurance is also a business that sells fear.

And while some insurance policies are indeed life-saving or life-changing, there are also lots of policies that are designed to make the customer feel worse off. Insurers will often use fear tactics in order to get people into expensive policies where they may not need to be. Insurance agents will try to sell you a policy that will cost you money in order to make you feel like you're not covered if something bad happens to you -- and therefore, they make money by charging you more money for a policy that isn't likely to save your family.
