If he had no big claims, he'd access preventive care to its full extent- check ups, dental, as much as possible with a really good year being one in which he consumed more than he contributed.

Embolded totally true. Problem is, to my best mathmatical models the probability of fire consuming a house is not only to a degree lower than death happening to a living person in the future. One of the slight-of-hands figures of speech is to equate/subsumize both under the term "insurance"
