I just realised that English describes insurance in (at least) two ways.

Sometimes, we describe what is being insured:
Car insurance. Home and Contents insurance. Pet insurance. Life insurance.

Sometimes, we describe the event that is being insured against:
Fire insurance. Bad weather insurance. Death insurance.

Indeed.

It is possible to buy "life insurance" in the second sense - it is called an annuity, or more colloquially a pension. It carries on paying out as long as you live, even if that is to 120.
