Pooling everybody's money so that the ones who are unfortunate get money to help with their situation definitely is a product. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Literally all the insurances are like this. If yours isn't, why are you paying for it?

Maybe because the choices are pay for insurance or live in agony/die? Maybe both, if you're lucky.
