How to read this: Actual rights depend on the insurance contract, application, underwriting, and claim facts. This page explains general concepts.
Two different systems
Social insurance is built around public policy and pooled protection, while commercial insurance pays according to an individual contract.
Insurance is primarily risk transfer
The core purpose is protection against financial events that may be hard to absorb, not simply investment growth.
Inventory existing public benefits
Know what social insurance, public health coverage, and employer benefits already provide before buying additional protection.
Focus on the gap
The useful question is how much financial exposure remains after public benefits and household resources.
Try a calculator
Use your own household or policy numbers to compare scenarios. Results are not insurer quotations or claim promises.
