Best Answer

You purchase insurance in order to transfer risk of liability from one party to another. In the case of buying medical insurance, you are purchasing the insurance in order to transfer the risk of you or a family member from getting ill and the financial cost involved with this risk. In exchange for a specified amount of premium the insurance company agrees to accept a certain amount of the risk of the financial loss involved in getting ill and the cost of treatment and medication involved.
