What is an insurance policy in the USA?

Property and Casualty insurance is for things like a car or motor vehicle, or your home. You are required to have insurance or evidence that you have the means to self-insure a vehicle for damage to other property (a crash) or other life (hurt somebody else).

And it is generally optional to insure to repair your own damaged property (your crashed car if it was your fault). Some states have no-fault auto insurance, so if there is a crash they pay out but often try to get out of making the largest. If it is your home or personal effects, you would usually want to insure against damage by fire or flood, or by burglary and other events.

In some states, you may need to have extra windstorm coverage so that hurricane or tornado damage will cover you and repair or enable you to have somewhere new to live or replace some of the things that are stolen.

There are life and disability insurances, that cover you when you die or are unable to work which are optional, but some employers offer or pay for some coverage to their employees.

There are liability and umbrella insurance policies, so if someone sues you for doing something unprofessional, or by doing something in your profession or normal life that they allege caused them some loss, that helps protect you from losing your assets and savings.

Some mortgage for house purchases may also want to ensure that you would be able to pay them the loan back if you lost your job and had no money to pay the bank or financial organization.

Health care insurance. There is no ‘free’ healthcare and the small amounts that Americans payout of income towards medicare and Medicaid do not benefit most taxpayers, except when they retire or get disabled and cannot pay for health insurance.

Those that are poor do have some options, including Child health insurance programs (CHIP) run by the state that helps those that earn less than $40,000 per year. Some adults with this annual income and below may get medical care under Medicaid.

When they are older (over 65) may have some coverage with Medicaid. Otherwise, if you are working with a large company you can join (mandatory at the moment) or pay for individual health medical insurance. The ACA otherwise known as Obamacare made it more accessible and with federal tax subsidies, more affordable.
