Insurance companies get a bad rap, but compared with many other major industries their goals are actually pretty well aligned with those of their customers/ the public at large. For example, property insurance companies want better security, more sprinklers, earthquake resistant buildings, etc. Life insurance companies would obviously prefer that you live forever. I think something similar can be said for health insurance companies (preferring that you don't get sick), although the concept of health "insurance" is severely abused in US.
Also, the idea that "doctors care about you" is pretty laughable.

Get out of bed in the morning if for no other reason than to piss your enemies off.

yea but Big Pharma wants you to live as long as possible.
more to the point: banks like blackrock own pretty much everything. so....
exactly ;)
Until you're on medicare. Then you're a blank check to Drs and hospitals. Look up end of life care costs.
Living within the process of dying implies being temporary growth within ongoing loss, therefore...loss represents the foundation of growth.
Growth cannot be insured against loss.
