If she wanted to know, he would tell her, he thought grimly to himself. "There is nothing left," she began, bursting into his office, "but the house, which has a mortgage, and the insurance nothing! Nothing!" It was rather soon for her to be resentful, the doctor thought bitterly, misreading the misery on her face. "No," he said. "Had the Judge lost any money do you know?" "No; I think not."
I am of the opinion also that an office of insurance erected to insure the titles of lands, in an age where they are so precarious as now, might be a project not unlikely to succeed, if established on a good fund. But I shall say no more to that, because it seems to be a design in hand by some persons in town, and is indeed no thought of my own.
Not only does he exercise no power over the dollar which he has placed with the bank or with the insurance company, but he has thereby strengthened the hands of these organizations. Each dollar placed with the financier is a dollar's more power for him and his. Suppose the impossible that half of the families in the United States "own property."
The public were ignoramuses, mere children; they knew nothing whatever about insurance. Rosalie said in a voice consonant with the grave measure of her nods: "Of course, if it was a man, as you said, looking for a house, he'd go to an agent.

Certainly not; that's their only protection. If Jones's store burned with that stock before it was sold, and there was no insurance, who would lose?
Turning now to the rest of the agenda for 1974, the time is at hand this year to bring comprehensive, high quality health care within the reach of every American. I shall propose a sweeping new program that will assure comprehensive health insurance protection to millions of Americans who cannot now obtain it or afford it, with vastly improved protection against catastrophic illnesses.
As the day will probably come when every man in Hartford will live in his own mammoth, five-story granite insurance building, it may not be unreasonable to expect that every man will sport his own Gothic church. There isn't a finer or purer church than ours any where, inside and outside Gothic to the last.
I thought of the morrow of my desk in the Life Insurance Office, of the clerks with oiled hair brushed back from the forehead, all exactly alike, trousers neatly turned up to show fancy colored socks from bargain sales, their pockets full of cheap cigarettes, their minds busy with painted actresses and the names of horses! A Life Insurance Office!
