在现代美国社会中，保险业涉及社会生活的各个领域， 保险种类也异常繁多，除了常见的健康保险（Health Insurance）、人寿保险（Life Insurance）、海上保 险（Marine Insurance）、火灾保险(Fire insurance)、 汽车保险(Automobile Insurance)、旅行意外保险 (Travel Accident Insurance)等外，还有疾病保险 (Sickness Insurance)、残废保险(Disability Insurance)、失业保险(Unemployment Insurance)、 罢工保险(Strike Insurance)、公务员保险 (Government Employee Insurance)、家畜保险 (Livestock Insurance)、雨水保险(Rain Insurance)、 冰雹保险(Hail Insurance)等等。美国人的保险意识极 强，特别是健康保险，几乎人人都有。这大概是因为美 国的医疗费用太昂贵。此外，很多美国人对其耐用消费 品进行保险，包括电冰箱、洗衣机、洗碗机、电烤炉等。 这种保险不同于我国的家庭财产保险，它实际上是具有 保修性质的故障保险。当上述投保物品发生故障时，保 险公司便负责出钱修理。
•Life Insurance
• It has been a system for Americans to buy Life Insurance to protect themselves and their family’s life. From the President to the common people, alive with bank’s money, dead with insurance company’s money. • American Life Insurance can be divided into two categories: Whole Life Insurance and Term Insurance.
•Medical Insurance
• In America, the cost of seeing a doctor or being in hospital is so enormous that may spend an ordinary people’s life savings. In general, American companies buy Medical Insurance for their employees, the employees don’t need to pay for it themselves.
