Who needs casinos when we have insurance companies

You know casinos and insurance companies are quite the same. You go to a casino to bet away whatever money you have in the hope that you will win and that the payoff you receive will cover your expenditures for the night.
With insurance you bet on your luck, that's bad luck, that nothing will happen and that if it does they will pay out enough to cover the expenditures you need to recover.
Outside being caught cheating, the casino has to pay you with no questions asked. The insurance company doesn't have to pay out at all or will only after making you feel like a lier or crack addict asking mom and dad for a cash advance so that you can get back up on your feet.
The casino is a form of entertainment that we rarely can afford. Insurance is a form of torture that is provided to us once a month, which reminds us of just how much money we have thrown at them over the many, many years for the enjoyment of having such good luck.
Casinos don't run and hide when disasters strike, they simply clean up and open up so that they can provide a service to their patrons. Insurance companies, well they run and hide and do so while telling you that your "coverage" doesn't cover that. Its called the fine print, similar to the fine print in the movie Willy Wonker and the chocolate factory(remember the contract he made the winners sign at the beginning of the tour of the factory).
Despite any forecast of economic hard times casinos are always there for you. On the contrary insurance companies will leave you faster than a scorned lover. Just ask the homeowners of Long Island who have Allstate. Upon hearing that the east coast was likely get a direct hit from a major Katrina type hurricane, Allstate refused to renew the policies of thousands of Long Island homeowners. Imagine that, the good hands of Allstate were only good for grabbing and counting your cash and not for extending and helping you up. just a thought.
