    That seems odd, since insurance is fundamentally just a bet. There’s no reason one can’t make two bets on the same thing.

      It’s how medical insurance works in Canada if you have coverage from two working parents. Not sure about other forms wich is why I said check with a broker.

      Thinking about this again, if someone has the money to pay two policies, they can probably self-insure depending on the specifics.

        Medical insurance isn’t actually insurance in the traditional sense. It has more in common with a subscription service.

        But I’m more specifically thinking of home flood and fire insurance, as that’s the kind the article is about.
