The History

Insurance is mainly an agreement between a company and an individual to sharing risk.  The concept of insurance came about because merchants of earlier times suffered from the demolishment of cargo boats. Initially,  merchants shipped their goods by boat and risked losing everything if the ship was destroyed. Merchants then came up with the idea of using multiple boats to ship their cargo. So the merchants were more likely to make money even if one of the ships was destroyed.

The most common types of insurance are life, health, home, business, and auto insurance. When you buy a policy from an insurance company, that company uses the money to pay out on claims that submitted by other policyholders. State government regulates the insurance companies. Each state agency has a chief insurance regulator who is responsible for enforcing the insurance laws according to the state legislature. These insurance laws vary from state to state.
